Beginning with the blooming season of spring, it's important to prepare your yard for rapid growth. Start by aerating your soil to allow air, water, and nutrients access to your grassroots. Implement a fertilization plan tailored to your specific grass type, ensuring a healthy start to the growing season. With patches of your lawn likely stressed from winter, overseeding provides an effective way to encourage new growth and thicken your turf. We recommend using a mix of fast-germinating grass seeds for the best results.
With summer's arrival, maintaining a lush landscape becomes the focus. Regular mowing is crucial, but remember to adjust your mower blade to a higher setting. This practice prevents the grass from getting scorched under the sun's strong rays. Watering is another critical component; deep and infrequent watering encourages deep root growth, enhancing your lawn's drought tolerance. Adding mulch around plants helps retain moisture and keep the roots cool during the scorching heat. If you have hardscaping elements, such as patios or walkways, give them a thorough cleaning to brighten their appearance.
As fall approaches, it’s time to prepare your yard for the colder months ahead. Fall is the ideal time for core aeration, allowing water and nutrients to penetrate down to the roots. It’s also the best season to apply a slow-release fertilizer, ensuring that your grass has a nutrient reserve to draw from throughout the winter. Removing fallen leaves promptly prevents them from smothering the grass, reducing the risk of disease. If you're considering adding new plantings, autumn is perfect for transplanting trees and shrubs, as the cooler weather reduces stress on new plants.
Winter doesn’t have to mean the end of enjoying your yard’s beauty. Focus on hardscape maintenance, clearing your pathways and ensuring your patio is clean and accessible. Consider adding winter-hardy plants like evergreens, which offer both color and structure throughout the cold season. These plants not only withstand harsh conditions but also bring life to an otherwise dormant landscape. Protecting your existing plants with burlap wraps or frost blankets shields them from damaging winds and cold temperatures.
