Seasonal Lawn Care: Year-Round Maintenance Guide
A healthy, beautiful lawn requires year-round attention and seasonal adjustments. Understanding your lawn's needs throughout the changing seasons ensures optimal growth, disease prevention, and long-term health.
🌸 Spring Lawn Care
Spring is the most critical season for lawn health as grass transitions from winter dormancy to active growth.
☀️ Summer Maintenance
Summer heat stresses lawns, requiring extra care to maintain healthy turf.
💧 Deep Watering
Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth
⏰ Mowing Height
Raise mowing height to 3-4 inches to shade soil and reduce evaporation
🌱 Weed Control
Spot-treat weeds before they spread and go to seed
🐛 Pest Monitoring
Watch for signs of grubs, chinch bugs, and other lawn pests
🍂 Fall Lawn Preparation
Fall is prime time for strengthening your lawn before winter dormancy.
Fall is often called the "prime time" for lawn care because grass roots continue growing even after top growth stops, building a stronger foundation for spring.
❄️ Winter Protection
Proper winter care ensures your lawn emerges healthy in spring.
