Spring Cleaning Checklist for Your Lawn

Spring is almost here, which means more time outdoors enjoying cookouts, games and other fair-weather activities.

But before you can revel in all your yard has to offer this season, it’ll need to be whipped into shape after the dormant winter months.

Here’s our spring lawn care checklist:

1. Tune up your lawn mower: After sitting idle in your garage or toolshed all winter, your mower will need a little TLC. Check the spark plug, clean, or replace the air filter, change the oil and get the blade sharpened. 

2. Clean up debris: In the spring, your yard will be host to fallen leaves, sticks, twigs, and other debris. If not removed, this layer of plant scraps can smother your lawn and leave unsightly dead patches. Clearing this refuse also makes way for more effective herbicide and fertilizer treatments.

Wait Until Late Spring to Fertilize

If you’ve lived in Michigan for years, you know how rough winter weather can be on your lawn. Months of freezing cold and snow can take a toll on your previously green lawn.

When spring has sprung, make sure you’re prepared with our spring lawn care prep tips:

Clean: When the snow melts, pick up any fallen branches and leftover leaves on your lawn and in flower beds. Rake to give your lawn a lift after the cold weather. This will help promote new growth.

Lastly, hire a professional lawn fertilization company to take care of your Howell home! Over time, lawns tend to leech nutrients, leaving them deficient. For thicker, greener grass, your lawn needs the right nutrition, and that can be hard to manage on your own.

Hiring a professional company to fertilize is the best option because not only do they know the right type of fertilizer to best feed your lawn, but they’ll manage the proper timing and application that can be hard for the average homeowner to achieve.

How to Winterize Your Lawn and Gardening Gear for a Storm

Winterizing your yard and garden doesn’t stop with the plants. 

You’ll also need to bring your gear indoors for storms or freezing weather. 

Make sure you remember the following garden and yard gear needs to come indoors to protect them through the winter:

• Hoses must be drained, disconnected, and put in the garage for winter storage, or water inside can expand and burst the hose or the pipe leading outdoors. Don’t use that spigot until the weather has completely warmed up and any ice has the chance to melt!
  
  
• Bring in all gardening gear so it doesn’t rust over the winter (and you don’t lose it in the snow!)
  
  
• If you’re expecting a big winter storm, bring in all lawn furniture, unsecured trash cans, and buckets or toys. These can blow around in a storm.
  
  
• Do you have any leaf piles remaining? Remember to dispose of them before a freeze. Leaf piles that get wet can freeze to the ground, leaving this project for spring if you forget!

Tips to Prepare Your Garden and Yard for a Winter Storm

Your house is ready for a winter storm, but what about your grounds and garden? 

If you have a beautiful new garden or trees planted around your yard, there are some things you can do to protect them from extreme weather.

• Trim dead sections off any unruly fall plants. Make sure you look up the specific species of plant to see if it prefers a fall pruning like roses do, or if you should leave it alone to protect it from freezing.
  
  
• Mulch around garden beds and sensitive plants several inches deep at a minimum. This can help prevent roots of perennial plants from freezing, which ensures they regrow in the spring. Check out which plants you have in your garden that are “frost-hardy” and the minimum temperatures they can tolerate. The plants that prefer higher temperatures need at least a few inches of mulch.
  
  
• If you have temperature-sensitive trees in your yard, wrap them in a burlap with staking underneath to prevent the wrap from touching foliage. This protects them from the wind and extreme freezes.

Prepare Your Lawn for Spring/Summer Weeds and Pests

In the winter, you’re probably reveling in not having to mow your lawn or think about weeds and pests. However, the off-season is the best time to tackle issues like grubs and crabgrass before they get out of hand!

Control with fertilization is the 1st application to be applied after the long winter. Crabgrass has a creeping or lying down stem in appearance and is often a pest in turf. Crabgrass comes from last year’s crabgrass seeds. For best results, these seedings should be treated before they appear.

Make sure to plan for this treatment in the spring!

What About Pesky Broadleaf Weeds?

if you can control weeds, insects, diseases, and other pests, all the above actions will have their best chance to succeed. A lawn care pro can offer solutions such as a combination of pre-emergent and post-emergent weed control tactics to keep weeds at bay. Grub control is also an important service to consider!

Aside from their unsightly appearance, broadleaf weeds can jeopardize the health of your lawn by soaking up nutrients that would otherwise keep your grass healthy. The best way to ensure you get rid of pesky weeds is to hire a company to regularly treat your lawn. Two applications per year can make sure your lawn looks its best and stays healthy and lush year-round.

There are many products on the market to help you deal with grubs, but timing is very important. Healthy soil and pest management will give you the upper hand in grub defense.

How do You Know if You Have Grubs?

Look for dry patches in spring to early summer that signals grubs have developed into adults. Grubs regularly eat grass roots, so grass and soil damage will be noticeable.

Additionally, you may notice spongy spots or gives a little as you walk on it. This could be indicative of an infestation.
