As the harbinger of new beginnings, spring is synonymous with renewal, and your lawn is no exception. This is the perfect time to aerate your soil, facilitating efficient absorption of water and nutrients. At Kunkle & Sons, we recommend overseeding in spring to fill in bare spots and thicken your lawn. Fertilization is also crucial during this period, as it provides essential nutrients that help your lawn recover from the winter chill and prepare for the upcoming growth season.
As temperatures rise, summer lawn care becomes critical to sustain its beauty and vitality. One of the most important practices during this period is implementing a proper watering schedule. Our experts suggest watering deeply but infrequently, ideally in the early morning to reduce evaporation. This allows the water to penetrate the roots effectively. Additionally, mowing should maintain the grass height to prevent scorching. Choose to mow at a higher setting, providing more shade to the soil which, in turn, helps retain moisture and keeps the grass cool.
As summer transitions into fall, it's vital to prepare the lawn for the colder months. During this season, Kunkle & Sons advises customers to continue regular mowing but gradually reduce the height of your grass. It's also an excellent time to remove thatch build-up and aerate your lawn for the last time as it allows optimal penetration of the fall fertilizers. Applying a slow-release fall fertilizer will help strengthen roots and provide a strong foundation for growth in spring. Don't forget to clear fallen leaves, as pests and diseases can quickly develop underneath if left to decompose on the grass.
Winter might seem like a dormant time for your lawn, but it’s crucial to minimize damage during this season. Protecting the lawn from foot traffic can prevent compaction, and keeping equipment and heavy objects off the grass ensures it won't be smothered. While visible growth is limited during the colder months, giving attention to areas where snow piles often build-up can prevent damage.
