After a warmer-than-normal winter, spring is breathing down our necks with record temperatures. Soon, green grass will be sprouting in New Jersey and New York lawns. Here are a few tips for growing a lush, beautiful lawn this spring, and for maintaining it through the summer months.
- Start by giving your yard a visual inspection and a light overall raking. Take note of areas that might require extra attention. By treating early, you'll be well on your way to a full and healthy lawn.
- Proper soil testing and fertilization are next on the lawn to-do list. Along with aerating, these steps facilitate water and fertilizer absorption and help eliminate risk of lawn pests. A properly timed application of pre-emergent herbicide will stop weeds before they germinate, and a slow-release fertilizer will provide food to newly awakened grass roots.
- Once your grass starts growing, water it thoroughly and on a regular schedule. Watering more, on a less-frequent schedule, produces better results than watering daily. Schedule mowing so that only the top 1/3 of the grass length is removed. Then, throughout the growing season, try mowing in alternating directions for a fuller, thicker turf.
If you'd like to get an early start on your lawn oasis, but you don't have the time to do it yourself, turn to the lawn experts at Green Meadows Landscape. We offer spring clean-up, weekly mowing, hedge trimming, and fertilization packages to suit your needs, as well as fall clean-ups and much more!
