1. Rake and Remove Debris
Clear away leaves, twigs, and any debris left over from winter. This allows sunlight and air to reach the soil, preventing mold and disease.
2. Aerate the Soil
Compacted soil can suffocate roots. Aerate your lawn to improve water and nutrient absorption for stronger, healthier grass.
3. Apply a Spring Fertilizer
Use a slow-release, nitrogen-rich fertilizer to jumpstart growth. Avoid over-fertilizing, which can burn new grass.
4. Overseed Bare Spots
Fill in thin or patchy areas with a high-quality grass seed blend. Keep the soil moist until new grass is established.
5. Schedule Your First Mow
Wait until your grass is at least 3 inches tall before the first mow. Set your mower blades high to avoid stressing new growth.
6. Water Wisely
Water deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Early morning is the best time to water your lawn.
