Essential Spring Lawn Care Checklist
Spring Lawn Care
As the snow melts and temperatures rise, your lawn begins to wake up from its long winter sleep. Spring is the most critical time to give your yard the care it needs for a lush, green growing season. Use this essential spring lawn care checklist from Hometurf Lawn Care, Canada’s trusted lawn care experts. This will help your lawn start strong.
1. Rake and Remove Debris
Winter often leaves behind dead leaves, twigs, and thatch that can smother your lawn.
- Lightly rake to remove dead grass and debris.
- Break up snow mold patches and matted grass.
- Improve air circulation and prep the lawn for growth.
Early cleanup sets the stage for healthy turf by allowing sunlight and nutrients to reach the soil.
2. Try Liquid Aeration for Soil Compaction
If your lawn has compacted soil, which is common after a long Canadian winter, liquid aeration is a good solution for this problem. It is a modern and effective alternative to traditional core aeration.
- Liquid aeration uses bioactive ingredients to break down compacted soil at the molecular level.
- It improves water and nutrient absorption by creating microscopic pores.
- Safe for lawns and pets, and there’s no need to mark sprinkler lines or leave soil plugs behind.
Hometurf Lawn Care provides top-quality liquid aeration treatments. These treatments help roots grow better and make the grass stronger and deeper. They do this with no mess and little disruption.
3. Apply Spring Fertilizer
Feeding your lawn in early spring helps jumpstart growth.
- Choose a slow-release, nitrogen-rich fertilizer.
- Apply when soil temps reach about 12°C (54°F).
- Avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to thatch buildup.
A balanced application provides essential nutrients for thicker, greener grass.
4. Control Weeds Early
Spring is the best time to prevent weeds before they take over.
- Apply a pre-emergent herbicide for crabgrass.
- Spot-treat broadleaf weeds like dandelions.
- Maintain a healthy mowing height to shade out weed seeds.
Let Hometurf’s weed control experts handle stubborn weed problems with safe, effective treatments.
