Your Lawn Calendar: What To Do Each Season for a Perfect Yard

A beautiful lawn doesn’t happen by accident—it requires seasonal care to stay healthy and lush year-round. Whether you’re a homeowner maintaining your yard or a business ensuring a pristine landscape, following a seasonal lawn care schedule is key. Here’s what to do each season to keep your grass thriving!

🌱 Spring: Wake Your Lawn Up!

Winter can leave your lawn compacted and weak, so spring is all about revitalization. ✅ Dethatch & Aerate – Remove thatch buildup and aerate to allow nutrients to reach the roots. ✅ Fertilize – Apply a balanced fertilizer to kickstart healthy growth. ✅ Overseed – Fill in bare spots with fresh seed for a full, even lawn. ✅ First Mows – Keep grass at a moderate height to encourage strong roots. ✅ Pre-Emergent Weed Control – Prevent weeds before they take over!

☀️ Summer: Protect & Maintain

With rising temperatures and dry conditions, summer is about preservation and hydration. ✅ Mow Smart – Keep grass slightly taller to provide shade and reduce stress. ✅ Water Deeply – Water early in the morning and ensure deep root hydration. ✅ Monitor for Pests & Diseases – Hot weather brings increased risk. ✅ Fertilize (Warm-Season Grasses) – Apply light feeding if needed. ✅ Avoid Heavy Foot Traffic – Protect stressed lawns from wear and tear.

🍂 Fall: Strengthen & Prepare for Winter

Autumn is a critical time to strengthen your lawn for the colder months ahead. ✅ Aerate Again – Relieve soil compaction before winter. ✅ Apply Fall Fertilizer – Encourage root growth for spring. ✅ Overseed Cool-Season Grasses – This is the best time to improve density. ✅ Keep Mowing – Maintain proper height until the first frost. ✅ Leaf Cleanup – Prevent mold and smothering by keeping the lawn clear.

❄️ Winter: Protect & Plan

Your lawn may go dormant, but that doesn’t mean you should neglect it. ✅ Avoid Foot Traffic – Frozen grass can become brittle and damaged. ✅ Prepare for Snow Mold – Rake leaves and keep your lawn dry. ✅ Sharpen Mower Blades – Get ready for spring with well-maintained equipment. ✅ Plan for Next Year – Review what worked and adjust your lawn care approach.
