  • When February peeps in, you know it is time to
    start getting ready for spring. You too have to
    prepare your lawn for spring. This is the time
    that many lawn owners call
  • With the passage of winter, your plants will be
    left hungry and weak. Thus, if you want to have a
    bloom in spring and summer, now is the time to
    start getting ready. Lucky for you, we do not
    only offer grass cutting services at TCLS, but we
    also walk with our clients every step of the way,
    every season. It is quite possible to have a lawn
    that looks as if it popped out of a home
    improvement magazine, all seasons of the year.
    lawn service and landscaping companies for advice.

Tips that lawn service and landscaping companies
use for spring preparation
  • Clean the lawn and rake the grass to wakefulness
  • Spring is a happy time. Thus, you do not want it
    to find your lawn dirty and unprepared for the
    warm months. By cleaning, we mean just take an
    air blower and blow away the debris that
    collected over winter. Blow away the leaves.
    Well, you could rake the leaves away, but an air
    blower is faster, less tiring, and more
    effective. When you do not remove the debris, it
    will block the fertilizer from getting into the
    soil. You do not want the nutrients meant for
    your plants to go to waste.
  • However, while you are using the air blower for
    the debris, remember that you will still need to
    use a rake on the grass. A rake will do the job
    of waking up the grass, in readiness for the warm
    season. Many lawn care services advise you to
    rake the grass out of its slumber. A rake will
    also aerate the soil some so that the fertilizers
    can soak better.

Weeding the lawn
  • Any lawn care company will tell you that the
    approach of spring is the best time to do your
    weeding. If you skimp on that, you will give the
    weed a lot of leeway, and it may overwhelm your
    grass in the near future as it will usurp all the
    nutrients.
  • Now, there are weeds that you can control when
    they have already germinated. However, some, such
    as crabgrass are nasty customers. You want to get
    rid of them before they can germinate. Usually,
    crabgrass starts to germinate when the
    temperature of the soil reaches 55 degrees or
    thereabouts.
  • In southwest Louisiana, crabgrass is one of the
    most serious weed infestations. It can also be
    hard to control. At TCLS, we tell our clients to
    ensure that crabgrass does not get to germinate.
    This means using corn gluten meal, which is a
    pre-emergent organic controller.

  • Although this can take time to be effective, once
    it starts being effective, you may never have to
    deal with crabgrass again. There are more instant
    solutions to crabgrass that lawn service and
    landscaping companies can advise you on too.
  • Please also note that you should not use a
    pre-emergent weed controller if you plan to plant
    grass. It may prevent the grass from germinating.
    It is best to consult with a grass cutting and
    lawn care services provider because there is a
    lot of room for error in the use of weed control
    solutions.

It is time to trim your trees and shrubs
  • The trees and the shrubs do a good job of giving
    your lawn character, especially when they are
    nicely trimmed. Get them ready for summer by
    trimming them. This prepares the trees for
    another burst of growth. It could be hard to trim
    the trees and the shrubs just right, so get the
    assistance of landscape maintenance services.
  • If you do not have skill and experience, you may
    just trim off the new growth in your shrubs and
    trees. In some cases, you may want to wait until
    the shrubs start flowering so that you do not
    trim the seed bearing branches. That is why it is
    advisable to hire professionals for the job to
    eliminate all the guesswork.

Find out whether there is need to apply
fertilizer
  • Lawn service and landscaping companies advise
    lawn owners to test their soil to determine
    whether the pH balance has been maintained. Most
    of the times, the melting snow might have changed
    the soils chemical balance. Even if you applied
    fertilizerto your lawn in fall, do carry out
    another test still to make sure that the soil is
    ready for new and accelerated growth in summer.
  • You may have to mulch the leaves
  • Although we advise to get rid of the leaves with
    an air blower, if the leaf cover is not too
    thick, you should mulch it back to the lawn with
    a lawn mower. Just ensure that you do not leave
    too much leaf cover that may hamper the growth or
    the greening of the grass.

8
Time to spread the mulch
  • When preparing your yard for spring, it is the
    right time for you to spread some mulch. You can
    spread some mulch, an inch or so thick around the
    trees and on the plant beds. The reason for
    adding mulch is to keep the plant roots cool in
    summer and to help the soil retain water. Make
    sure the mulch cover is not thicker than 3
    inches.
  • You can see that there is quite a lot to do to
    your lawn to prepare for spring. We are among the
    top lawn service and landscaping companies in
    southwest Louisiana and we advise our clients to
    never take chances. By following the steps weve
    outlined above, youll be ready for new growth in
    spring and summer.
