Planning for Spring

It's never too early to plan to get your lawn off on the right foot this spring.  If the weather predictions hold true for Montgomery and Chester Counties, we'll be fertilizing properties in early March, just six weeks away!  While it's still technically winter, here are a couple tips to care for your lawn now.

For starters, avoid excessive traffic on your lawn, especially when it's way below freezing.  Walking on the turf can damage the crowns of the grass plants, in some cases, this can cause damage to the turf when they come out of dormancy.  Secondly, if you didn't get all of those leaves up, try to find a mild day and do so, excessive leaf covers can smother the turf, which can cause discoloration or injury to the turf.

In the meantime, here's a valuable resource to whet your appetite for spring.  Virtually anything you'd like to learn about your Southeastern PA lawn is on this page.  If we missed something, drop us a line.
