Spring is the perfect time to set your turf up for success to bring that lush, vibrant lawn back to life. But as the season progresses, your lawn’s needs will change. Early spring is generally all about recovery—addressing the effects of winter—while late spring focuses on strengthening your lawn to withstand the summer heat. As experienced landscaping professionals, we’re here to guide you with sustainable lawn care solutions for every stage of the season.
No matter when you start, checking your lawn’s condition is important to choosing the right approach. Early spring (March to April) is the time to assess winter’s effects and fix any damage.
Snow mold is a fungal disease that appears after snow melts, often as gray patches on the lawn. Raking these areas helps the grass breathe. If the problem is severe, professional lawn care services can help stop the spread using organic turf care
Heavy snow and ice can compact the soil, making it harder for roots to grow. Early spring is a great time to explore if your lawn needs aeration. This process loosens the soil and improves water, nutrient, and air flow—a key process in organic lawn care to keep grass strong and healthy.
As temperatures rise and late spring (May to June 20) arrives, it’s time to check how well your lawn is handling sun exposure and watering.
There are many reasons why bare patches appear, from prolonged winter disease, to poor lawn maintenance, and fixing them properly is important for long-term lawn health. An assessment by a Landscape Professional is the best option to determine the best path forward.
Drought stress happens when your lawn doesn’t get enough water as temperatures rise, causing dry or thinning grass. Adjusting your watering and mowing schedule might be the fix to prevent damage, and keep your lawn healthy all season.
From fixing snow mold and compacted soil, to treating bare patches and drought stress, every step of your spring lawn care routine helps keep your lawn looking its best. Whether you need aeration, overseeding, or a full lawn care plan, starting as early as possible makes all the difference.
