Spring Lawncare Tips for a Healthy Connecticut Lawn

A healthy Hamden, Connecticut summer lawn starts with spring maintenance. When the snow starts to melt and winter’s receding snow reveals bare spots, invasive plants and other problems can occur, which can seriously jeopardize the health of your lawn through the Spring and Summer months.

Below is a list of 5 important Lawncare Tips, which will help you to achieve a beautiful landscape for your Connecticut property.

  • Cleaning and Repairing Your Lawn in Spring – Affordable Landscaping & Tree Service LLC recommends homeowners should take the necessary time to remove any debris from their existing yards such as: twigs, branches, leaves, pet droppings and winter road gravel. By raking the lawn this helps dethatch and promote growth.
  • Planting Grass in the Spring – As part of the spring startup process, dead or damaged grass patches should be reseeded in early March or April. The most important thing to do is to provide newly developing seeds with enough water for proper growth and development.
  • Fertilizing Grass in the Spring – Adequate fertilization plays a major role in producing and maintaining a dense, pest/weed-resistant turf for your Southbury, CT property
  • Lawn Care Equipment Maintenance in the Spring – A key component of having a lawn that is beautiful and healthy is making sure your lawn mower is in good condition. Be sure to service mowing equipment regularly and use a lawn mower blade sharpening service.
  • Don’t mow your lawn too short – Grass will grow best at approximately two inches and higher, so keep it a minimum of this height during the first few cuts in spring.
