Spring marks the beginning of the lawn care calendar. As temperatures rise and sunlight increases, your lawn will start its growth cycle. This is the perfect time for aeration, a vital process that involves perforating the soil to allow better air, nutrient, and water penetration. Spring is also ideal for reseeding any areas that have become thin over the winter. At J and E LAWN, we recommend a high-quality, slow-release fertilizer to provide your lawn with the necessary nutrients as it awakens from its winter dormancy. Coupled with proper irrigation, these steps will guarantee a robust start to the season.
As spring gives way to summer, maintaining your lawn's health requires adapting to higher temperatures and possible drought conditions. Regular watering becomes essential, and it's best done early in the morning or later in the evening to minimize evaporation. We also advise setting your mower blades to their highest setting. Longer grass blades shade the soil, reducing water loss and preventing weed growth. If weeds are a persistent problem, J and E LAWN offers effective and environmentally friendly weed control solutions that will keep your lawn pristine.
With fall comes the time to prepare your lawn for the coming winter. The cooler, wetter climate provides the perfect setting for seeding and repairing any areas that have suffered damage during the summer. This is also the season for applying a balanced fall fertilizer that supports root growth and helps the grass store energy for the winter months. Regular raking is important in fall to keep your lawn free from leaves and debris, which can smother grass and promote diseases. At J and E LAWN, we offer comprehensive leaf removal services to take the hard work out of this task while ensuring that your lawn is healthy when spring returns.
Winter can be tough on lawns, especially in areas that experience snow. While lawn care tasks reduce significantly, preparation is crucial for maintaining lawn health. Avoid heavy foot traffic on frozen grass, as this can cause damage. If snow accumulation is frequent, regularly clear pathways to prevent ice formation. J and E LAWN also advises a final mow before the first frost, cutting the grass slightly shorter than usual to protect it from mold and mildew.
