469-333-TURFEverybody’s looking for a straightforward way to get their lawn looking as nice as possible, but the problem is that a straightforward way is hard to sketch these days, when all experts seem to be handing out seemingly contradictory advice. There are plenty of professionals out there that have different opinions on spring lawn care, so we thought it would be good to shed some light on the matter.
Perhaps this is the most important piece of advice of all. Don’t rush into any measures applied in your yard before allowing it to breathe a little after the winter and consulting with your lawn service provider in the meantime. Taking any action without proper planning can be not only inefficient, but it could damage your lawn’s potential on the long term. While you consult with your lawn maintenance company, the lawn gets a little time to wake up right from its hibernation-like state.
Considering the dry climate in Texas – whether you live in Waxahachie, Mansfield or elsewhere – dethatching would be a very bad idea at this stage. The earth was recently still frozen and it’s still dry and vulnerable. Don’t put extra pressure on it just yet.
You can’t do both, as the effects could be completely inefficient. Consult with your lawn care company and choose the best way to go for you out of the two.
As we were saying, the soil is just waking up into spring. The season is typically humid enough for your lawn, so there’s no need to water it extra for the moment. If you want to check to make sure, pay attention whether your foot remains “stamped” in the grass after stepping on it. If so, then it’s indeed dehydrated and you should ask your lawn care company for professional irrigation services. If it springs right up, it doesn’t need any water.
From all the lawn care mistakes possible, this is the worst one when it comes to protecting your lawn’s health. Not sharpening you mower blade means the grass cuts won’t be clean cuts, which leads to more time and effort to heal. Go to your lawn care provider and get your mower blade sharpened a.s.a.p.
To know precisely what sort of care your lawn needs, you need to perform some soil tests (for acidity, nutrient levels etcetera). Contact your lawn care service and schedule lab work.
