A healthy lawn requires more than occasional care. To keep your lawn lush, healthy, and green, you need to follow a consistent lawn care plan throughout the year. This includes aeration, overseeding, fertilization, weed control, and adjusting your watering as the weather changes. These practices improve your lawn’s appearance, health, and resilience so it can thrive all year.
By staying consistent with lawn care, homeowners can also avoid costly issues in the future.
Correct watering practices are essential for a healthy lawn. Watering deeply but less frequently will encourage deep root growth, so your lawn is more resistant to heat and drought.
Adjust your watering based on the season. During cooler months, water less often to prevent over-saturation, which can cause disease and fungal growth. During the hot and dry summer months, water deeply a few times a week to prevent your lawn from drying out.
Avoid over-watering and shallow watering, which can lead to weak, shallow root systems. This increases weed and pest growth and makes your lawn more susceptible to drought and other stresses.
Weeds compete with your lawn for water, nutrients, and sunlight. This weakens your lawn and leaves it vulnerable to pests and disease.
To stay ahead of weeds, it’s important to maintain regular weed control. Applying preemergents in early spring helps prevent weeds from germinating, giving your lawn a head start on weed prevention. It’s important to apply weed control consistently at the right times throughout the year to keep your lawn protected from weeds.
By staying proactive with weed control, you ensure your lawn remains healthy and beautiful all year long.
Fertilizers provide essential nutrients that lawns need to thrive. Applying the right type of fertilizer at the right times during the year promotes healthy, green growth and improves overall resilience to environmental stressors such as drought, pests, and foot traffic.
Ever wonder how golf courses stay so lush and green? They include aeration and overseeding as part of their routine maintenance to keep their courses in top shape.
Over time, lawn thatch thickens and soil becomes compacted, restricting root growth. Aeration allows air, water, and nutrients to reach the soil, which helps lawns grow deeper, healthier root systems.
Overseeding fills in thin and bare spots, especially in high-traffic areas. It also introduces improved seed genetics into your lawn, resulting in a denser, healthier lawn with better resistance to drought, pests, and disease.
Following a consistent lawn care plan starting in early spring sets the foundation for a healthy lawn all season.
