Spring Lawn Care Tips
Spring is in the air, gardens are being planted, the flowering trees are blooming, leaves are appearing, the grass is growing. Are you giving your lawn the care it deserves? As we dive headfirst into Spring our team at Lancaster Lawn & Landscaping, LLC want to provide you with essential tips to ensure your lawn and landscaping stays lush, healthy, and vibrant.
Begin by picking up dead leaves and debris that have accumulated over the winter. Dead leaves can suffocate the soil preventing necessary sunlight and air from reaching the grass roots to improve new growth.
Avoid weed problems by applying pre-emergent herbicides in the spring for weed control, make sure to follow the product’s instructions carefully regarding timing and application rates. It’s crucial to apply the pre-emergent before weed seeds germinate to effectively prevent weed growth in your lawn. Spring rains provide the ideal habitat for fungi like Fairy Ring, Necrotic Ring Spot, Dollar Spot, Snow Molds, Anthracnose, Leaf Spot and Melting-Out, and Rust. Symptoms on your lawn can look like: lesions, discoloration, thinning, and dead patches or rings. Some fungi cause mushrooms, cobweb-like mycelium, or fruiting bodies. Spray a fungicide or call a pro to remove the fungi. Fertilize your grass. This will help replenish your lawn’s nutrients lost over the winter and promote healthy growth.
Top off mulch in your landscape beds. The right amount of mulch will conserve moisture, regulate soil temperature, and add curb appeal to your landscape.
As you start mowing again, avoid cutting the grass too low to protect the roots and encourage a lush, healthy lawn.
