BLOG From Weeding to Seeding: Comprehensive Lawn Care Tips for Every Season by Sexton Professionals Sep 07, 2024

Proper lawn care is essential for maintaining a lush, green yard that you can be proud of. At Sexton Lawn Care, we understand that each season brings its own set of challenges and tasks when it comes to caring for your lawn. That's why we've put together this comprehensive guide on lawn care tips for every season to help you achieve the yard of your dreams.

Spring: Spring is the perfect time to get your lawn off to a healthy start for the year. During this season, focus on tasks such as aerating your lawn, dethatching, and overseeding bare patches. Don't forget to apply a slow-release fertilizer to give your grass the nutrients it needs to thrive. Additionally, this is the best time to tackle weed control by applying a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent pesky weeds from taking hold.

Summer: The hot summer months can be tough on your lawn, but with the right care, you can keep it looking its best. Make sure to mow your grass regularly, but not too short, as longer grass helps shade the soil and retain moisture. Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth, and be sure to regularly check for pests and diseases. If you notice any issues, contact a professional lawn care service for assistance.

Fall: As the temperatures start to cool down, it's time to prepare your lawn for the coming winter months. Rake up leaves and debris to prevent them from smothering your grass, and continue to mow your lawn until the grass stops growing. Fall is also the perfect time to overseed and aerate your lawn, as well as to apply a final round of fertilizer to help your grass stay healthy through the winter.

Winter: While your lawn may not require as much maintenance during the winter, there are still a few tasks you can do to keep it in good shape. Avoid walking on frozen grass, as it can cause damage to the blades. Keep an eye out for signs of disease or pests, and be sure to clear snow from your driveway and walkways to prevent chemical runoff that can harm your lawn come spring.
