Tips on Spring Lawn Care!


Brea Sperti Tato
It feels great to be finally being out in the garden without wearing a coat because spring is in the air, but your yard is not bare.

A beautiful lawn compliments the rest of the garden and makes the whole garden looks fantastic. Spring lawn care is less intrusive and less time and works consuming. If the maintenance of the lawn was done properly in the fall, then there is much less work for you to do in spring. The most important part of spring lawn care is that it should begin in the early- spring and if you do it right, the sun and the soil will do the rest of the work for you.

Successful tips for effective spring lawn care are:


  • Raise the mowing deck to the highest of its setting
  • Treat lawn weeds and moss quickly
  • Deal with bold patches in the lawn immediately
  • Tune up your lawn mower and other tools at least once a year
  • Fertilize the lawn properly


Mow your lawn!

To keep your lawn in a tip-top condition, you must tune up your lawn mower and better do it once a year. Change its oil, plugs, filter, and spark plug and sharpen the blades. Take it to a mechanic and he will take care of the rest of the necessary stuff to be done. Next, you clean out all the grass and mud from it. In the end, lubricate the wheels and all the moving parts to improve its efficiency.

After all, is tuned up, you are ready to mow your lawn but keep in mind to raise the mowing deck to the highest of its settings. Otherwise, you will ruin the roots of the grass by making it weaker and unhealthy with more chance of weed and moss growth.

Treat your lawn with the best!

It is always better to start it when your lawn has turned mostly green.  To treat your lawn better, the best way to do it is to fertilize the soil. Put a fresh layer of fertilizer during the spring, to prevent the lawn from weeds, use pre-emergent herbicides and don’t leave bare patches in the lawn, patch it up with grass seeds and water it daily.
