A well-maintained lawn provides more than just aesthetic value. It enhances the curb appeal of your home, provides a space for recreation, and increases the overall value of your property. However, achieving and maintaining a healthy lawn requires more than occasional mowing. It involves understanding and addressing the specific needs throughout the year.
In spring, the focus should be on preparing the soil for the growth season. Begin by raking away leaves and debris to allow your grass access to sunlight and air. Aerating your lawn in the early stages of spring can also help improve root development by allowing air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the soil more effectively. At Tactical Stripes, we recommend applying a balanced fertilizer that's rich in nitrogen to give your grass a healthy start. As your lawn begins to grow, regular mowing is essential. Our team advises setting your mower blades at a higher setting; this not only provides a cleaner cut but also encourages deeper root growth and shade for the soil.
Summer presents its own set of challenges, with rising temperatures and occasional dry spells. It's essential to water your lawn deeply but less frequently to encourage deep root growth. Tactical Stripes suggests watering early in the morning, reducing water loss due to evaporation and keeping your lawn hydrated. Continue to mow regularly, but consider allowing the grass to grow a little longer to provide shade and retain moisture. Remember, a well-hydrated, well-mowed lawn will resist pests and diseases that often accompany the summer months.
As the temperatures begin to drop in fall, it's time to prepare your lawn for dormancy while setting the stage for spring growth. This is the ideal time for aeration and overseeding to fill in bare spots and promote a thick lawn. Our experts at Tactical Stripes recommend applying a fall fertilizer to provide nutrients over the winter, helping your lawn build resilience against the cold. Additionally, keep your lawn clear of fallen leaves to prevent disease and mold.
Even in winter, your lawn needs a little care. Avoid walking on your frozen grass to prevent damage and give attention to tools and products for the upcoming seasons. Tactical Stripes offers winter tips and maintenance, including how to store and maintain your lawn care equipment.
