BLOG Seasonal Lawn Care Strategies from C & C: Keeping Your Yard Perfect Year-Round Mar 01, 2024

As the seasons change, so do the needs of your lawn. At C & C Lawn Care and Maintenance, we understand the importance of proper seasonal lawn care to keep your yard looking its best year-round. By following our expert strategies, you can maintain a healthy, lush lawn no matter the time of year.

Spring: As the weather warms up, your lawn will start growing again after the winter dormancy. Spring is the perfect time to aerate your lawn, remove thatch, and apply a slow-release fertilizer to encourage healthy growth. Be sure to mow on a regular basis, allowing grass to stay at a height of around 2-3 inches. This will promote strong root development and help prevent weed growth.

Summer: The heat of summer can be tough on your lawn, so it's important to water regularly to keep it hydrated. Water deeply and infrequently to promote deep root growth. Make sure to mow your lawn in the early morning or evening to avoid the heat of the day. Consider applying a summer fertilizer to keep your grass green and healthy.

Fall: As the temperatures start to cool down, it's time to prepare your lawn for the winter months. Continue to mow as needed, gradually lowering the mower blade to allow more sunlight to reach the grass. Fall is also a great time to overseed any thin or bare spots in your lawn. Raking up leaves and debris will prevent them from smothering the grass and causing dead patches.

Winter: While your lawn may not be actively growing in the winter, there are still steps you can take to ensure its health come spring. Avoid walking on frozen grass, as this can damage the blades. Keep an eye out for any signs of snow mold and treat accordingly. Consider applying a winter fertilizer to help your lawn bounce back quickly when the temperatures start to rise.
