Is Your Lawn Ready for Spring?

February 1, 2018 by Mike

We’re deep into winter by now, and eagerly awaiting the arrival of spring. While you wait, there are some steps you can take to care for your grass now, ensuring a healthy, flourishing lawn in the spring.peaceful boy laying on grass
    • Keep it Tidy! Removing leaves and debris is important, especially if you’ve got a lot of moisture. Leaves, pine needles, and the like will easily mold or mildew. A rake is your best friend in this situation, because raking also helps to keep your grass from matting, improves airflow, and helps prevent disease.
    • Check the Soil. If your turf gets a lot of foot traffic, it can easily get compacted. Look for moss, which can be a sign your soil is compacted. If you notice compaction, contact AELMI to schedule core aeration to make sure your soil is getting enough air. Winter or early spring is the best time to aerate your warm-season grasses (this includes Bermuda, Zoysia, Centipede, and St. Augustine grasses).
    • Check the Soil Again. While you’re at it, check your soil’s pH. It’s best if it’s a neutral pH. If your grass is acidic, don’t panic–AELMI can help you solve this issue with a specialized application of fertilizer and lime.
    • Check your Gear. Have your lawn mower cleaned and serviced, check on the state of your tools, collect anything you “loaned” to neighbors last year, and get ready for all the yard work you’ll enjoy come spring!
A little bit of extra work now, and some help from AELMI, will ensure your lawn is healthy, beautiful, and ready for your enjoyment in the spring.
