Spring is a crucial time for your lawn’s grass and the lawn care teams at SK know exactly what to do to make sure your lawn grows thick, green and healthy well into the summer months. The first thing for grass to grow in the spring are the obvious environmental factors: sunlight, cool (but not cold) air, water, and the nutrients in the soil. This means that having layers of leaves or other lawn debris will easily and likely hinder grass growth which means that you’ll need a good, thorough lawn clean up. If you’re lawn has been covered up by leaves and lawn debris all winter long then you may find that there are barren areas of your yard that likely won’t be growing grass unless you add seed. In addition to seeding, a carefully planned round of fertilizer can help boost the growth of grass in the spring but you want to make sure that the fertilizer is spread just before a good spring rain to help it get absorbed deep into the soil.

For lawns with excessive weeds, we recommend a pre-emergent which will hinder the germination of noxious weeds but you have to be careful with weed control as it will also hinder grass seeds from germinating as well. There are some lawns that have a hard time growing grass due to the soil being excessively compacted and in that case, our lawn care teams will either aerate, verticut or in extreme cases both which breaks up the soil allowing water and air to reach the grass’ roots. Obviously adequate watering is essential to optimal grass growth and while mother nature will sometime provide rain at the perfect time, more often than not you’ll need to do some watering yourself and the lawn care experts at SK can tell you how much and when to water your lawn. Lastly, your lawn is going to need to be mowed sooner rather than later and no one leaves your lawn looking its best than the lawn care teams at SK. We mow your lawn and maintain your landscape with absolute precision so that when you drive up you your home, you’ve got a yard you can be proud of.
