Spring Lawn Care and Landscaping in Kansas City, Raymore, and Lees Summit, MO
With spring-like temperatures this week in the Kansas City area, it’s time to start thinking about your lawn and landscaping. At SK Lawn and Landscape, we spend most of the winter months ensuring we have everything we need to leap into action once winter has finally made its last stand which could be sooner than you might think this year. As most grass is still lying dormant, you may notice that many trees around the metro are starting to bud, which is always a sure sign that spring is just around the corner. That’s not to say that we won’t see a surprise snowstorm or two before sunny and warm becomes the norm, but some things can be done now to ensure a healthy, vibrant, and green lawn before spring arrives.
Weed & Feed and Pre-Emergent Lawn Treatments in Kansas City
Pre-emergent herbicides and weed and feed products can help promote a healthy lawn by preventing the growth of unwanted weeds and allowing grass to grow more vigorously.
Pre-emergent herbicides are applied before weed seeds germinate, forming a barrier that prevents them from growing. By stopping weeds from taking root in your lawn, your grass will have less competition for nutrients, sunlight, and water. This allows your grass to grow more vigorously, creating a denser and healthier lawn.
Weed and feed products are a combination of fertilizer and herbicide designed to provide the necessary nutrients for your grass while also killing any existing weeds. The fertilizer component of weed and feed helps promote strong root growth and lush foliage, making your lawn more resistant to weeds and other environmental stresses. Additionally, by killing existing weeds, weed and feed products can prevent those weeds from reproducing and spreading throughout your lawn.
However, it’s important to note that both pre-emergent herbicides and weed and feed products must be used carefully and according to their instructions to avoid damaging your lawn, or better yet, let the lawn care professionals at SK apply your spring lawn treatments. Overuse or improper application can harm your grass and soil, so it’s important to have a professional apply these treatments. Additionally, while these products can effectively prevent weeds, they may not be suitable for all lawns, and alternative weed control methods may be necessary, depending on your specific circumstances.
The official start of spring is less than 30 days away, and here in the Kanas City area, we’re already seeing signs of it.
