If you look closely you may notice that the trees area starting to bud and your lawn’s grass is already growing which is a sure sign that spring has arrived in Kansas City and that means it’s lawn care and landscaping time again. At SK Lawn and Landscape, we have been keeping our equipment and spring lawn care supplies ready to roll out and this week we’ve already been in quite a few yards putting down the first round of pre-emergent so that grass will grow it’s best for our customers. One thing that we have noticed in the past few weeks (and pretty much all of March so far) is that rain has been scarce which can be damaging to emerging plants and glass. If possible, we recommend that homeowners water their lawn as much as they can until the drought-like conditions end which will hopefully be this weekend (fingers crossed).

While routine lawn mowing and landscape maintenance will need to be done in the coming weeks, late March is the ideal time for weed and feed as noxious plants can easily take root and overtake lawns. Weed and feed makes sure that any emerging weeds are swiftly killed while fertilizing the grass that you want to grow in your lawn. However weed and feed can also kill off newly planted grass seeds so treatments should be carefully planned to insure that your grass grows healthy and consistently in the spring. At SK Lawn and Landscape, we make sure that when we do pre-emergent or weed and feed treatments that we do so when the weather is favorable to make them the most effective meaning we likely won’t be doing either just before a big rain storm because it could easily wash them away. Once your lawn’s grass is growing thick and strong is when routine mowing should begin but not before new grass seed can get healthy enough for a good mow.
