We’re getting SO close to lawn season, but timing still matters.
With the warmer days lately, it’s tempting to jump into seeding or w**d control - but the ground is still a lot colder than it seems. Most lawn treatments don’t really start working until soil temperatures reach about 50-55°, so getting the timing right makes a big difference.
What you CAN do right now:
• Clean up sticks, leaves, and winter debris
• Rake out matted grass
• Take note of thin areas to address later
What to HOLD OFF on (for now):
• Seeding
• Crabgrass preventer and other pre-emergents
• Most fertilizers
Starting too early can actually set your lawn back. Waiting just a little bit longer will pay off in the long run.
If you want help getting your yard cleaned up and ready for the season, feel free to reach out - I’d be happy to take a look.
