Now that the weather is starting to dry out, it’s the perfect time to start your yard clean up.
Check out a few secrets of success to effective spring lawn care:
Regular lawn mowing with the correct mowing height is essential; blade height should ideally be no lower than 5cm for the first few cuts, in general.
Feed your lawn in spring and then again in summer to increase strength, vigour and health.
Treat lawn weeds and moss quickly and effectively using a lawn weedkiller.
Deal with bare patches in the lawn immediately to deter weeds and moss taking hold.
Scarify the lawn to help alleviate the build up of thatch layers in the lawn, including debris, dead grass and moss.
Aerate your lawn to relieve compaction and let air circulate around the lawn root system. Aeration will also help if you have lawn drainage issues.
