A lush, vibrant lawn is the pride of any homeowner, but keeping it healthy throughout the year can be a challenge without the proper care. Seasonal changes bring unique challenges to your lawn, but with a little attention, you can keep your grass thriving year-round. Here’s a guide to seasonal lawn care that will help ensure your lawn stays green and healthy no matter the weather.

Spring: Prepare for Growth

Spring is a time for renewal, and your lawn will begin to grow quickly after the cold winter months. This is the best time to give your grass a boost with fertilization, helping it grow strong roots. Aerate the soil to allow water and nutrients to reach the grassroots. Spring is also the time to remove any lingering weeds that may have appeared after the winter. Regular mowing will keep your lawn looking neat and encourage healthy growth.

Summer: Maintain and Protect

Summer can be tough on your lawn due to the heat and dry conditions. It’s important to water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Early morning watering is the best time to prevent evaporation. Keep the grass slightly longer during the summer months, as longer blades provide shade to the roots, helping retain moisture. Be sure to continue mowing, but avoid cutting the grass too short to reduce stress on the lawn.

Fall: Feed and Prepare for Winter

Fall is the time to prepare your lawn for the colder months. Fertilize again to provide nutrients for the grass to grow stronger before winter. Aerate the lawn to ensure water and air can reach the roots. Fall is also the perfect time to overseed thin or bare spots in your lawn. Clean up leaves and debris to prevent mold and fungi from forming.

Winter: Rest and Recovery

In winter, grass goes into dormancy and slows its growth. During this time, avoid heavy foot traffic on the lawn, as this can damage the grass. If your area experiences snow, don’t allow snow piles to sit too long on the lawn, as they can cause damage to the grass beneath.
