When we hear the word lawn care the first thing that usually comes to mind is mowing, lawn clippings and getting grass stains on your shoes but there’s a lot more that goes into making sure that your yard’s grass grows healthy, strong and weed free. At SK Lawn and Landscape, we started our business way back in 2010 by mostly mowing yards in our nearby neighborhoods but we quickly learned that mowing was just a small part of providing truly comprehensive and quality lawn care services. In the Kansas City area, we sell the full spectrum of what mother nature can do from bitterly cold snowy days to muggy hot and humid summer days. For some lawns and specific types of grass, these weather changes can be a bit much unless steps are taken to make sure that when the temperatures are favorable for optimal growth, the right factors are in place for a healthy, green and thick lawn. Weeds are never in short supply especially in the early weeks of spring which is when pre-emergent and weed and feed treatments are recommended and will be most effective.

Pre-emergent targets weeds before they actually start growing keeping your lawn weed free early in spring and allowing newly planted grass to grow without any competition. Later in the spring, a weed and feed treatment is recommended to squash any newly emerging weeds and give your lawn’s grass a good solid fertilizer boost. As with most springs in the Kansas City area, rain is rarely in short supply and the past few weeks your lawn likely started to turn green and grow right before your eyes but consistent watering is still crucial during dry spells. Adequate watering during the spring months and into summer can help keep your grass continue to grow thick and green while avoiding the dry, yellow grass that can occur during the hot dry days of summer. Of course lawn mowing will help keep your grass growing and make your yard look great but mowing too short especially during the spring months could put newly planted grass at a disadvantage.
