SPRING
Spring is the time to wake up your lawn from its long winter dormancy. Start off by raking any debris such as matted leaves and twigs that have accumulated since the fall. To do this use a hand rake or get a power rake done. However, power raking should only be done if you have a build-up of thatch.
Snow and debris build-up over the winter can cause the soil to become hard and compacted. The best way to relieve compacted soil is by core aeration. This will allow water, air and fertilizer to be more readily available to your lawn's root zone. This will help keep your lawn healthy and thus more resistant to disease and insect infestation.
A spring fertilization will also help turf grasses to develop shoot and root growth. For spring and summer, consider using a slow release fertilizer that gradually makes nutrients available to the grass. Nitrogen encourages green color and vigor; phosphorous is used to aid root development; potassium or potash is for maintaining hardiness and disease resistance. Fertilizer should be applied evenly and at a proper rate to prevent burning.
