Spring can be a stressful season for any lawn, but there are simple projects you can do to prepare and protect your turf to withstand the rigors of spring. Which projects are best for your lawn will vary, but each one will help you nurture a lush, strong, healthy lawn.
Spring is a very welcome season as gardens begin to grow, buds burst forth, and lawns green up thanks to longer days and milder temperatures. Despite its popularity, however, spring can actually be devastating to lawns with unpredictable switches between freezing and thawing, saturated soil thanks to snow melt coupled with spring rains, and encroaching weeds that take root before grass begins to grow. As wildlife becomes more active different guests may dig into a lawn, and insects can quickly infest a lawn that is weakened from winter weather. As we get out into our yards in early spring, foot traffic can crush new growth and cause debilitating soil compaction. Fortunately, all of these stresses can be overcome and you can easily take steps to have a spectacular spring lawn.
There are many options for how to best care for your lawn in spring. The exact projects that will benefit your turf most will depend on its overall condition and the local climate and weather, as well as whether the lawn is comprised of cool-season grasses (fescues, bluegrasses, ryegrasses) or warm-season grasses (St. Augustine, Bermuda, zoysiagrasses, carpetgrasses). In general, however, the following projects can all help rejuvenate any lawn after a long winter.
With just a few tasks, a spring lawn can go from a tired casualty of a rough winter to thriving turf ready to welcome outdoor activities. By preparing your lawn properly in spring, you’ll be able to enjoy healthier, more robust turf not just in spring, but through summer and into fall.
