Protect Your Lawn During the Winter

Did you know there are steps you can take to minimize winter damage?

Even after the snow begins to fall, there are steps you can take to avoid damaging your lawn:

  • Minimize foot traffic: Walking on frozen or snow-covered grass can break brittle blades and compact the soil. Stick to sidewalks and driveways whenever possible.
  • Avoid piling snow in one spot: Snow piles can smother grass and lead to mold growth in the spring. Spread shoveled snow evenly when possible.
  • Watch out for salt damage: Road salt and ice melt can harm grass near driveways and sidewalks. Use lawn-friendly products like calcium chloride or sand when traction is needed.
