Top 5 things you shouldn’t do to your lawn right now.
These are the things that you should not do now…
- Do not de-thatch. 95% of all lawns in the northeast don’t have enough thatch to de-thatch in the first place.
- Don’t over water this time of year (March thru May-ish) Most lawns will likely have enough soil moisture to keep going for a while into the late spring/early fall.
- Don’t not lime. In other words… DO LIME… a lot if you can. Liming at this time of year/or any time of year for that matter is great and is important to keep the lawn at it’s peak shape.
- Don’t mow at the lowest setting. It may take another few weeks but always cut at the mowers highest setting. This will help to keep weeds and drought stress to a minimum as the Summer moves in.
- Don’t assume that the grass that’s not growing in bare areas will not come back in. What I mean is that the grass plant is very resilient and it will take a lot for it not to come in over a certain area, especially if it was there last year. Most grasses will tend to “cut back” a bit during the winter to save on it’s own food supply. Once the warm weather hits then you’ll see it start to get healthier and more vibrant.
