The weather is getting warmer; the birds are singing a bit louder, and the pollen is falling. That can only mean one thing: spring is just around the corner. We can help you get your yard ready for the season with this three-step guide:
When preparing for any masterpiece, you need to start with a blank canvas. Take the time now to clear your yard of debris to help minimize the risk of stunted growth. Firewood, planters, parked cars, tools, dog toys, slides and garden gnomes have no place on your lawn when you’re preparing for a spring debut. They prevent vital sunlight and nutrients from reaching your grass, which can keep it from reaching its full potential. These items can also attract pests that can make your lawn their home and cause damage.
Beautiful grass needs the right foundation. Consider having Arbor-Nomics test your soil to ensure it’s ready to host a lawn that makes you proud. Soil should have the proper pH balance and nutrient mix. Fertilize your yard if needed, keeping in mind that some grasses perform better if they’re fertilized in the fall, rather than spring. Give your lawn the best chance to thrive throughout the spring. Each nutrient has a role in the health of your grass, and you’ll want to know where things are going well and where you’re deficient so that you can fill in the gap. After all, the ultimate goal is to have beautiful grass throughout the spring, and that preparation starts now. A soil test will tell you what you’re working with. While these tests may seem optional, they really can make the difference between a withered patch of grass and a lawn that’s the envy of the neighborhood. Trust us.
