Welcome to March! With the arrival of spring just around the corner, it's time to get our lawns ready for the upcoming season. Whether you're a seasoned lawn care enthusiast or a novice gardener, we've got you covered with our March lawn care checklist. Let's dive in:
Mower Maintenance: Dust off your trusty mower and give it some TLC. Sharpen the blade, clean or replace the air filter, change the spark plug, and grease any fittings. For battery-powered mowers, check the battery's health and ensure they're fully charged.
Preemergent Herbicides: Keep those pesky weeds at bay by applying preemergent herbicides before the soil temperature hits 55°F. It's better to be early than late, as the herbicide needs to be in the soil before weed seeds germinate. Consider a split application for maximum effectiveness.
Aerification: Spring is prime time for aerating cool-season lawns. Aerification promotes healthy root growth by creating channels for water, air, and nutrients to penetrate the soil. Warm-season lawns can benefit too if they've already started greening up.
Dethatching: Similar to aerating, dethatching removes built-up thatch to improve soil health. Choose either aerification or dethatching for March to avoid stressing your lawn too much before summer.
Fertilization: Give your hungry lawn a boost with a nitrogen and potassium-based fertilizer. This is especially important if you've aerated or dethatched, as it helps prepare your lawn for the challenges of summer.
Mow Low: For warm-season lawns, late March is the perfect time for a scalp and reset to remove dead leaf tissue and promote new growth. Cool-season lawns can benefit from some low mowings to kickstart the season.
By following these steps, you'll be well on your way to a healthy and vibrant lawn this spring. And if you need help with liquid fertilizer or personalized fertilization plans, don't hesitate to reach out to us. Let's make your lawn the envy of the neighborhood this summer!
