Lawn Winterizing – Why Bother?
A vibrate lawn demonstrates the pride you take in your home and household. It provides the first impressions and sets the conversation for the neighborhood. Of course part of that involves regular maintenance of watering, mowing, weeding, and the like. However, there are a few items that need to be done in the Spring and Fall to ensure the health of your lawn. If you do it right, you will have a healthy and happy spring carpet. That is why you need to winterize your lawn properly.
Throughout the colder regions of the country a strong lawn winterizing program will bring drastic benefits come spring time. During the winter, the lawn hibernates and needs to have a solid storage of nutrients to weather the storms with health. Come spring, a well winterized lawn will pop up early, beautiful, and even cut back on the weeds!
Timing does matter. When it comes to your lawn, the timing for your winterizing should be just before the first frost. Of course, since you cannot control the weather, you just need to do the best you can. It is better to be too early than to be too late.
Don’t let Jake Frost catch you with your leaves on the ground. Try and make sure you clean up the lawn as much as you can prior to winter setting in. Loosen the top soil with a rake and clean up any clippings or leaves. For the best results, it is worth getting a professional to aerate your lawn with a deep plug aeration.
In addition to clearing out the lawn now is a great time to take care of those pesky weeds. Give your lawn a fighting chance and get the weeds out now! Weeds will grow all winter so by killing them at the root with things like ‘Weed B Gone’ or manual weeding (get the roots!) you are going to have a much nicer lawn come spring time.
With the aeration done, the lawn cleaned up, the weeds taken care of – do not forget the winterizing fertilizer. It will bring your lawn back strong and fast in the spring.
Just follow a good winterizing routing or have someone do it for you (much easier!), and before you know it spring will be here and so will your lawn.
