BLOG Prepare for All Seasons: Vickers Lawns' Complete Turf Maintenance Plan Dec 28, 2024

Maintaining a lush, healthy lawn requires dedication year-round. As seasons change, so do the needs of your turf. At Vickers Lawns, we understand the nuances of lawn care throughout the year and offer expert solutions tailored to meet each season's demands. By following our complete turf maintenance plan, you can ensure your lawn stays vibrant and green from spring through winter.

Begin your lawn care journey with spring rejuvenation. After a long winter, your grass will need a revival to grow thick and strong. This is the time for dethatching and aeration, vital processes that alleviate compaction and facilitate nutrient absorption. Aeration allows air, water, and essential nutrients to penetrate deep into the soil, promoting robust root growth. As temperatures rise, overseeding fills in bare patches, enhancing the density and resilience of your lawn. At Vickers Lawns, our professionals use high-quality seed blends suited to your specific grass type and regional climate, ensuring optimal growth.

Transitioning into summer, the focus shifts to nurturing and protection. With the sun at its peak, your lawn requires more frequent watering to combat heat stress. Aim for watering early in the morning to reduce evaporation and allow grass to dry before nightfall, minimizing fungal diseases. Regular mowing is crucial, but cut no more than a third of the grass height to prevent scalping. Our experts use precision equipment to provide a clean, even cut, helping your lawn stay healthy and attractive.

Fall is crucial for preparing your lawn for the coming winter. This is the best time for fertilization, as it strengthens grass roots and provides essential nutrients. A slow-release fertilizer will sustain your lawn over the dormant months, ensuring a quick resurgence come spring. Alongside fertilization, our team recommends conducting a thorough weed control regimen to tackle persistent invaders before they seed. Raking leaves is also essential, as a thick leaf layer can suffocate grass and create ideal conditions for pests and diseases.

Winter brings dormancy to many lawns, but it doesn’t mean lawn care should halt. Reducing foot traffic on your turf during this period can prevent soil compaction and damage to dormant plants. Proper winter lawn care also involves cleaning the yard of debris and leaves that might have gathered in late fall. This extra attention prevents mold and rot that can damage your lawn. Preparing for winter with the assistance of Vickers Lawns ensures your grass remains healthy beneath the surface.
