Now that spring is almost here, you need to know how to prepare your lawn. Here are some lawn care tips you need to know to reinvigorate your lawn.
Spring Lawn Care Tips
- Evaluate The Mess
Check your lawn and assess the mess caused by the winter season. Clear away debris like dead leaves and branches so you can inspect the lawn structures, shrubs, trees, lawn, and soil. Remove any broken limbs. Call a lawn care Myrtle Beach expert if you need assistance.
- Rake The Grass
You have to rake the grass in your lawn so you can wake it up and allow it to grow. Rake out the thatch, which is the dead and dry grass that could be very deep and thick. If you don’t do this, thatch will prevent sunlight and oxygen from reaching other grass and plants. You should check for mold growth and fungus.
- Take Out The Weeds
Are there lots of crabgrass on your lawn? If crabgrass has gone out of control, you need to call the experts. Always remember that it’s all about timing. You should get rid of the weeds before they begin germinating. You can use a preemergent weed control product before the temperature of the soil reaches 55 degrees and weeds start to grow.
- Trim The Trees
Your garden is still not growing at this point. So, you should trim dead branches and shrubs too. If you don’t want to do it or you don’t know how to do it, you can always hire a lawn care expert. You need to be careful with trimming growth. It should be healthy so it could sustain itself. Don’t cut off the limbs of flowering shrubs that produce fruit or flowers.
- Mow The Lawn
The winter season has been hard on your lawn. You need to have an irrigation system that works correctly. Don’t forget to check if there’s been any damage to your outdoor lighting. Fix any damaged patio furniture or other wooden structures that you may have in your outdoor space. Clean and refresh your deck. Tune up your lawn mower and make sure that your pruning shears are clean, sharpened, and oiled.
