It’s getting close to spring cleanup time. This holds true for your lawn care as well! Here are a list of things that should be done before that first Lawn Mowing is done:
Shrubs: Spring is the time of year to get those unruly shrubs a hair cut. They can get a little crusty over the winter. A fresh trim will get them looking (and feeling) great. Prune away all the dead and damaged branches.
Perennials and Grasses: Cut back and divide. You want to prune your flower perennials to about 4-6 inches and cut your grass to a height of about 2-3 inches to allow all the new growth that’s been waiting around all winter room to grow.
Clean up those rock and mulch beds: Rake away all the dead winter leaves and debri that has accumulated all winter. This can smother any plants and foster diseases.
Prep dead areas for seeding: Grass can take a beating with long cold winters, especially if it is north facing and the snow never gets a chance to melt. You will want to remove any dead grass and spread compost.
April is a great time to start re-seeding or re-sodding those dead areas or spots. this will give about a month of active growing time before the first cut is needed.
Of course, Give LawnPro a call with any of these or other lawn mowing and lawn care service that you may need!
