Lawncare Made Easy

Set yourself and your lawn up for success all season long by implementing the following YardScaping tips between April (or whenever the snow melts) and June:

• Sharpen your mower blades
• Manually remove or smother large weed patches
• If you need to build your topsoil, aerate and topdress with compost
• As the temperature averages 50 degrees, overseed any bare or thin sections
• Set your mower blades to 2” for the first mow of the season
• Raise your mower blade to 3” for the rest of the season
• Leave your grass clippings for free nutrients
• Take a soil test before adding any fertilizer, pesticides, or lime to your lawn
• Did you have grubs last year? Order nematodes with a local nursery or discourage beetles from coming over for a meal.
