🌱 Early Spring Lawn Prep: Get Your Grass Ready for a Lush Season! 🌱

As winter fades and temperatures rise, it’s time to wake up your lawn and set it up for a green, healthy growing season. A little early spring prep can make all the difference in achieving a lush, weed-free yard this year. Here’s what you need to do:


1️⃣ Clean Up & Assess the Lawn

🧹 Remove leaves, twigs, and debris to allow sunlight and air to reach the grass.🔍 Check for dead spots, disease, or winter damage so you can address issues early.


2️⃣ Apply a Pre-Emergent Herbicide

🚫 Stop weeds before they sprout! A pre-emergent application in early spring helps prevent crabgrass and other invasive weeds from taking over.


3️⃣ Start Fertilizing (But Not Too Soon!)

💪 Early spring fertilization provides essential nutrients, but don’t overdo it! Too much nitrogen too soon can encourage fast top growth without strong roots.


4️⃣ Tune Up Your Mower

🔧 A sharp blade makes clean cuts, reducing stress on your grass. Get your mower serviced before the first cut of the season.


5️⃣ Water Wisely

💦 Start monitoring soil moisture—your lawn needs about 1 inch of water per week, but early spring rainfall often provides enough.


6️⃣ Get a Lawn Care Plan in Place

📅 Sign up for a professional lawn care program like Turf Geeks KC to ensure your lawn gets the right treatments at the right time!

By tackling these early spring lawn prep steps, you’ll be setting up your yard for a beautiful, healthy season ahead! 🌿💚
