BLOG Seasonal Lawn Care: Keeping Your Grass Green and Healthy Year-Round Jul 05, 2024

When it comes to maintaining a vibrant and healthy lawn, seasonal lawn care is essential. As the seasons change, different aspects of lawn care require attention to ensure your grass stays green year-round. At Wilson's Landscape Services LLC, we understand the importance of providing our customers with the tools and knowledge they need to keep their lawn looking its best in every season.

Spring is a crucial time for lawn care as it is the season when grass begins to grow vigorously again after the winter months. During this time, it is important to start with a thorough spring clean-up, which includes raking up any debris, aerating the soil, and applying a slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy growth. It is also a good time to overseed any bare spots to encourage new growth and to combat weed growth early on.

As we move into the summer months, proper watering becomes essential for maintaining a lush, green lawn. It is important to water deeply and infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to encourage deep root growth. Regular mowing is also important during the summer, as cutting the grass too short can stress the lawn and leave it vulnerable to pests and diseases. Additionally, applying a summer fertilizer will help to keep your grass healthy and green throughout the season.

As the weather begins to cool down in the fall, it is time to start preparing your lawn for the winter months. Raking up leaves, aerating the soil, and overseeding any thin or bare areas are important tasks to focus on in the fall. Applying a fall fertilizer will also help to strengthen the roots of your grass and prepare it for the dormancy of winter. Keeping your lawn well-maintained in the fall will set it up for success in the coming spring.

Finally, in the winter months, it is important to give your lawn a break and allow it to go dormant. Avoid walking on frozen grass or using salt to melt snow and ice, as this can damage the grass and soil underneath. Keeping your lawn clear of debris and maintaining a clean and tidy appearance will help to protect it during the winter and ensure it is ready for a strong start in the spring.
