BLOG Seasonal Lawn Care: Preparing Your Turf for Spring with PJ & Son’s Apr 15, 2024

Spring is just around the corner, and that means it's time to start thinking about getting your lawn in shape for the upcoming season. As the temperatures begin to rise and the days start to get longer, your turf will start to show signs of life again after the long winter months. At PJ & Son’s Gardening, we are here to help you prepare your lawn for spring and ensure that it stays healthy and vibrant all season long. Here are some important steps to take to get your turf ready for the warmer months ahead.

First and foremost, it's essential to give your lawn a good clean-up after the winter season. Remove any debris such as leaves, branches, and other debris that may have accumulated on the surface. This will allow the grass to breathe and receive the necessary sunlight and nutrients to thrive. Our team at PJ & Son’s Gardening can help with this initial clean-up process, ensuring that your lawn is ready for the next steps.

Once your lawn is clear of debris, it's time to assess its overall health and condition. Our experts recommend performing a soil test to determine if your lawn needs any additional nutrients or amendments. This will help you make informed decisions about fertilizing and other treatments that may be necessary to promote healthy growth. PJ & Son’s Gardening offers professional soil testing services to help you understand the specific needs of your lawn.

After conducting a soil test, it's time to start thinking about fertilizing your lawn. As the grass begins to wake up from its winter dormancy, it will need a nutrient boost to support new growth and overall health. Our team can recommend the right type of fertilizer for your turf and apply it at the optimal time to maximize its benefits. We use high-quality, eco-friendly fertilizers that will nourish your lawn without harmful chemicals.

In addition to fertilizing, spring is also an excellent time to aerate your lawn. Aerating helps alleviate compaction in the soil, allowing water, air, and nutrients to penetrate deep into the root system. This promotes stronger, healthier grass growth and can help prevent issues such as thatch buildup. PJ & Son’s Gardening offers professional core aeration services to help your lawn thrive throughout the spring and summer months.

Finally, don't forget about proper watering and mowing practices. As the weather warms up, your lawn will require more frequent watering to stay hydrated and healthy. Be sure to water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth and avoid shallow, weak roots. Additionally, adjust your mowing height to accommodate the faster growth rate of the grass in the spring. Our team can provide guidance on watering and mowing best practices to keep your lawn looking its best.
