Winter Lawn Care Essentials
Beyond lawn care, winter often brings snow and ice, requiring crucial services to ensure safety and accessibility for both homes and businesses.
While growth slows significantly, winter is not a time to forget about your lawn entirely. Focus on protection and planning to ensure a strong start to the next growing season.
Minimize Foot Traffic: Avoid walking on frozen or frosted grass whenever possible. The grass blades become brittle when frozen, and traffic can cause damage that won't recover until spring, leading to unsightly brown spots.
Clear Heavy Snowfall (If Necessary): If you experience exceptionally heavy, wet snow, consider lightly clearing it from delicate plants or areas of the lawn that might suffer from prolonged compression, although this is less common for most turfgrass.
Continue Debris Removal: If there are any lingering leaves or debris from late fall, try to remove them on warmer days when the lawn is not frozen.
Inspect and Maintain Equipment: Use the off-season to inspect and perform maintenance on your lawn care equipment. Sharpen mower blades, change oil and filters, and ensure everything is ready for spring.
Plan for Spring: Take time to assess your lawn's health based on the past year. Consider conducting a soil test to understand nutrient deficiencies or pH imbalances. Use this information to plan your spring routine, including any necessary amendments or treatments, and budget for the upcoming season's needs.
Repair Hardscape: Use the winter downtime to repair any damaged sidewalks, patios, or edging that could impact your lawn care routine or appearance in the spring.
