Blog Spring into Action: Seasonal Lawn Care Tips from Kingdom Lawn Care Sep 27, 2024

As the weather warms up and the flowers start to bloom, it's time to turn our attention to our lawns. Kingdom Lawn Care is here to provide you with some seasonal lawn care tips to help your yard thrive this spring.

1. Start with a Clean Slate The first step to a healthy lawn is cleaning up any debris that has accumulated over the winter. This includes removing leaves, branches, and other clutter that can prevent your grass from getting the sunlight and nutrients it needs.

2. Rake and Aerate After cleaning up, it's important to give your lawn a good raking to remove thatch and dead grass. This will help promote healthy growth by allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots. Aerate your lawn by using a fork or aeration tool to create small holes in the soil, which will also help with water absorption.

3. Seed and Fertilize Spring is the perfect time to overseed your lawn to fill in any bare patches and improve overall thickness. Choose a high-quality grass seed that is suited to your climate and soil type. After seeding, apply a slow-release fertilizer to give your lawn the nutrients it needs to thrive.

4. Water Wisely Proper watering is crucial for a healthy lawn. Water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth, rather than frequent shallow watering which can lead to weak, shallow roots. Water in the morning to minimize evaporation and reduce the risk of disease.

5. Mow Correctly Adjust your mower blades to the proper height for your grass type and only cut about one-third of the grass blade at a time. Leaving grass clippings on the lawn can provide nutrients as they decompose, so there's no need to bag them.

6. Control Weeds and Pests Keep an eye out for weeds and pests that can damage your lawn. Pull weeds by hand or use an organic herbicide if necessary. If you have a pest problem, consider using natural predators or environmentally friendly solutions to avoid harming beneficial insects.

7. Schedule Regular Maintenance Don't forget to schedule regular lawn care maintenance with Kingdom Lawn Care to keep your yard looking its best all season long. Our professionals can provide services such as mowing, edging, trimming, and more to keep your lawn healthy and beautiful.
