5 Turf Tips For Thriving Spring Lawns

We're here to support you with fertilization and weed control, and when it's time to mow, we want to ensure you have the best practices mastered.

Let's talk mowers and edgers, and how they can be the perfect companion to your healthy, green, weed-free lawn.

Sharpen Mower Blades

Ensuring your mower blades are sharp is crucial for a clean cut, which helps maintain a neat appearance and reduces the risk of disease.

Regularly checking and sharpening your blades throughout the mowing season will keep your lawn looking its best and make mowing more efficient, saving wear and tear on your equipment.

Mow High & Frequent

Mowing your lawn at a higher setting and doing so frequently encourages deeper root growth and reduces stress on the grass.

This practice not only helps your lawn stay lush and healthy but also shades the soil, minimizing weed growth and retaining moisture during warmer months.

Consistent mowing at the right height ensures your lawn remains dense and ready to flourish all season long.

Don’t Bag The Grass Clippings

Leaving grass clippings on your lawn can return essential nutrients to the soil, acting as a natural fertilizer.

This process, known as grasscycling, enhances your lawn's health by providing nitrogen and reducing the need for additional fertilizers.

If clumps form, simply rake them lightly to spread evenly. This eco-friendly practice saves time and supports a vibrant lawn.

Edging (Not Weed-Whacking)

Excessive edging can harm your lawn's root system and stress the grass. By limiting this practice, you promote a healthier lawn ecosystem and reduce soil erosion risks.

Monitor your lawn's natural growth and edge only when necessary, such as when grass encroaches on pathways or garden beds.

This balanced approach keeps your lawn attractive and strong throughout the season.

Watering With Efficiency in Mind

Watering in the early morning allows moisture to penetrate deeply into the soil, fostering strong root systems and minimizing evaporation.

This timing also helps prevent fungal diseases by allowing the grass to dry during the day. During droughts or extreme heat, adjust your watering schedule to maintain a healthy, vibrant lawn.

Be mindful of local watering restrictions and strive for efficient water use. By following these tips, your lawn will remain lush and green all season long.
