Get Your Lawn Ready for Spring! | Step-by-Step Guide 🌱🌷

Spring is right around the corner, and it’s almost time to wake up your lawn from winter! A healthy, green yard starts with proper preparation, including aeration, overseeding, and fertilization. Steps to Prepare Your Lawn for Spring: ✅ Step 1: Prepare Your Lawn Mow to 2–2.5 inches to allow nutrients to reach the soil. Clear away leaves, sticks, and debris for better aeration. Lightly water the lawn if the soil is dry. ✅ Step 2: Aerate the Lawn Use a core aerator to remove small plugs of soil. Aerate in multiple directions for even coverage. Let soil plugs break down naturally to improve soil health. ✅ Step 3: Overseed for a Thicker Lawn Choose high-quality grass seed that matches your existing lawn. Use a spreader to evenly distribute the seed. Lightly rake to ensure good seed-to-soil contact. ✅ Step 4: Apply Fertilizer for Growth Use a starter fertilizer high in phosphorus to encourage root development. Apply evenly with a spreader and follow package instructions. ✅ Step 5: Water & Maintain Water lightly twice a day for the first 2–3 weeks to keep the soil moist. Once grass establishes, switch to deeper, less frequent watering. Hold off on mowing for 2–3 weeks to let new grass grow strong. Why These Steps Matter: ✔️ Aeration improves soil health and root growth ✔️ Overseeding fills in bare spots and thickens your lawn ✔️ Fertilization provides nutrients for strong, green grass ✔️ Proper watering and maintenance help your lawn thrive all season 💚 Want a professional to handle it for you?
