Plan ahead to increase curb appeal in the spring
Winter temperatures are on their way, which means lawns on most properties are preparing for dormancy. Without proactive soil amendments and fertilizers in the fall, many lawns may be unable to retain enough nutrients or withstand tough climates and will struggle to bounce back in the spring.
We understand the visual impact that a vibrant green lawn has on a property, which is why we offer fall services that can help any landscape’s lawn flourish by springtime.
The perfect time to begin planning for spring is once the lawn has gone into dormancy – a safety mechanism that acts as a natural barrier against harsh temperatures and inadequate moisture. Cool season lawns can also benefit from core aeration and overseeding to introduce new cultivars and strengthen thin areas.
Now is the time to plan ahead and ensure that lush, green lawn!
Timely soil amendments and Winterizer applications will fortify the lawn and encourage a robust, early green-up once spring arrives.
Applying the proper soil amendment starts with a soil analysis. The importance of a soil analysis is to reveal nutrient content, the percentage of organic matter present, pH levels, as well as other information about your soil’s health. Analysis of the soil will identify the soil amendments that will be most beneficial to the lawn, whether it’s sulfur (to reduce pH), lime (to raise pH) or organic soil enhancer that restores organic matter to the soil.
A Winterizer is a late season application of fertilizer that improves carbohydrate storage during the dormant months. It also supplies slow-release nutrients to the soil which promote an early spring green-up.
