Spring is coming, Houston! Now’s the time to give your lawn some love so it thrives in the warmer months ahead. Here’s an easy guide to pre-spring lawn care:
Check Your Lawn: Walk around your yard and look for bare spots, weeds, or problem areas to figure out what your lawn needs.
Test Your Soil: A quick soil test from your garden center can tell you what nutrients your lawn needs and help you pick the right fertilizer.
Pick the Right Fertilizer: Choose a fertilizer that matches your lawn’s needs. Slow-release options are great for steady growth without burning the grass.
Fertilize at the Right Time: Fertilize warm-season grass like Bermuda in late spring and cool-season grass in early spring.
Aerate If Needed: If your lawn feels hard or compacted, aerate it to let water and nutrients reach the roots better.
Remove Thatch: Get rid of dead grass buildup (thatch) that can block water and nutrients from getting to the roots.
Control Weeds Early: Stop weeds before they start! Use a pre-emergent weed killer in early spring and treat existing weeds with targeted products.
Sharpen Your Mower Blade: A sharp blade gives cleaner cuts, which keeps grass healthier and less prone to disease.
Water the Right Way: Water deeply but less often to encourage strong roots. Avoid light, frequent watering.
Call the Pros: Not sure where to start? Lawn care experts can create a plan just for your yard and take care of the hard work.
