BLOG Seasonal Lawn Care Tips from the Experts at Moyer Mowing & Trucking Sep 04, 2024

As the seasons change, so do the needs of your lawn. At Moyer Mowing & Trucking, we understand the importance of proper lawn care year-round. That's why we've put together some seasonal lawn care tips to help you keep your yard looking its best throughout the year.

Spring

In the spring, your lawn is coming out of dormancy and starting to grow again. This is the perfect time to give it a good dose of nutrients with a slow-release fertilizer. Be sure to also aerate your lawn to allow water, air, and nutrients to penetrate the soil. Lastly, don't forget to start mowing regularly to promote healthy growth.

Summer

During the summer months, your lawn will be facing heat and potential drought conditions. Be sure to water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Consider raising the mowing height to provide shade for the soil and reduce water evaporation. And don't forget to regularly check for pests and diseases that may harm your lawn.

Fall

Fall is the perfect time to prepare your lawn for the winter months. Continue mowing as needed, but gradually lower the mowing height as the season progresses. Remove leaves and debris to prevent suffocation and promote air circulation. This is also a great time to overseed bare patches and apply a winterizing fertilizer to help your lawn withstand the cold months ahead.

Winter

While your lawn may be dormant during the winter, there are still some important tasks to keep in mind. Avoid walking on frozen grass to prevent damage. Keep an eye out for snow mold and treat as necessary. And be sure to keep your lawn clear of debris, as it can smother the grass underneath.

Year-Round Tips

In addition to these seasonal tips, there are some year-round practices you can incorporate to keep your lawn in top condition. Regularly sharpen your mower blades to ensure a clean cut and promote healthy grass. Avoid mowing when the grass is wet to prevent clumping and disease. And always be on the lookout for signs of stress, such as discoloration or thinning.
