A Few Lawn Care Tips For The Spring

By Tom Doerr


Caring for your lawn isn't a task that you can take up and put down whenever you want. If you want to have a lovely lush and green lawn then you will need to take care of it throughout the year. This is true of any time of year, but especially during the spring. With this in mind, here are a couple of simple lawn care tips for the spring.

When your lawn comes out from the other side of winter you won't necessarily know how it is going to appear. It could be green and lush or it can be very barren with dry patches everywhere. This, thankfully, shouldn't be too much of a problem as springtime is perfect to reseed and re-grow your lawn.

It's certainly very important to you to make sure that once you have put down any new seeds or sod that you ensure you provide plenty of water to your lawn throughout the week. Of course, if there is plenty of rain around then this won't be too much of a problem, but if not you will need to make sure that you out there providing all the water that it needs.

Fertilising your lawn during this time of year isn't necessarily a good move. The fertiliser will contain plenty of nitrogen and this night gene can often make the blades of grass grow much more quickly than the roots. If this occurs then the roots will fail to take hold and when the summer comes around they will not be able to conserve enough water to provide for the blades.

Most people do struggle with the weeds at any time of year, and the same is certainly true during the spring time. Of course, there are plenty of different weedkiller products that you can use to help you out and as such you should try to find something appropriate to keep the weeds away as your lawn regrows.

If you do take the steps then you should have no problem in maintaining your lawn nicely.
