How to ready your Lawn for Winters

A great looking lawn adds to your home’s curb appeal and creates an inviting space for outdoor activities like sports, cookouts, or simply relaxing in the afternoon. With just a bit of effort and time, you can create the perfect lawn and nurture it throughout the year to keep it looking healthy and beautiful.

No home is complete without lawn, as this is the most eye-catching area in a home for outsiders. The first glimpse that an outsider makes is of a lawn, the more well-kept and manicured it is the more attractive your house becomes.

Let’s get straight to some technical initiatives that we should take to make your lawn a gorgeous & heavenly sight!

• Seeding the entire lawn, especially bare spots
• Applying fertilizer high in nitrogen and potassium for proper fall nutrients
• Aerating to provide oxygen and moisture
• Dethatching and raking leaves to allow sunlight to reach the grass
• Composting grass and leaves for future use
• Pulling weeds and applying herbicides to prevent spring weeds
• Mowing and watering as required

During the winter, the grass is dormant and does not require as much care. Some of the prime winter lawn tips include,

• Cutting the grass short in the late fall or early winter
• Removing any remaining leaves
• Aerating and fertilizing before the first frost
• Avoiding excess foot traffic to prevent damage, especially during frosty conditions

Make sure that you follow these steps to prepare your lawn before the winters emerge, don’t let your grass or leaves fall out!

Gardening is a hobby some take too serious, but I feel if you have a lawn it’s a responsibility of a homeowner to take care of it as it is a LIVING PART of your house!
