5 - Tips to A Quality Lawn This Spring:

1.) Spring cleaning

Having your lawn cleaned up or even doing it your self in the spring is the number one thing to do to make your lawn have a great season! Almost 55% of all lawn diseases are caused by other plant material in your lawn effecting your lawn. This means sticks, leaves and more. Having a proper clean up will ensure your lawn can receive oxygen and that it will become less susceptible to disease and fungus.

2.) Aeration & Seeding

Though it is more commonly a process done in the fall, having an aeration and seeding may be essential for you. If your lawn has bare areas and does not seem to be filling in this may be necessary. By aerating your lawn you are giving your turf quite a few benefits. From allowing more oxygen into the soil and promoting foot growth the aeration pays off. Then when you seed, your seeds will be 2 - 4 inches into the soil wherever the aeration machine pulls it's plugs allowing for a much more well rooted lawn.

3.)Water for Results

All plants need water and sun to live. If we have a very wet spring this may not be a concern, but you should still water your lawn 2-3 times a week. A lawn will begin to weaken if not maintained. By watering the lawn you are feeding your turf promoting growth.

4.) Tree Trimming & Check Up

Believe it or not having your trees and shrubs maintained not only helps your trees and shrubs, but it also helps your lawn. Many people woulden't think a leaf can get a lawn sick, but it's true a single leaf could wreck a lawn leaving you with thousands of dollars in repairs. See, trees and shrubs can also carry insects, disease , and fungus. Thing such as leaf spot and Phomopsis Blight which if left untreated could kill your grass. By having someone trim your trees & shrubs annually and simply do a check up. you can stay ahead of the curb!

5.)Proper First Mow Of The Season

Having a proper mowing for your first mow of the season is essential to the health and thickness of your lawn all season long! When you prepare to do your first mow following a few simple steps you can ensure your turf is getting what it needs! First sharpen your mower blade if it has yet to be done for the year. If you do not know how to you can find a local professional. Secondly ensure you are mowing your grass at the right height!
