BLOG The Art of Seasons: Seasonal Lawn Care Mastery with Vickers Lawns Nov 04, 2025

As the seasons change, so do the needs of your lawn. Understanding these shifts and knowing how to respond is essential for maintaining a vibrant, healthy yard year-round. At Vickers Lawns, we appreciate the unique beauty of seasonal change and the art involved in mastering lawn care throughout the year.

Spring is the season of renewal, and it's the perfect time to prepare your lawn for the months ahead. As the ground warms up, it's crucial to clear away winter debris and give your grass its first feed of nutrients. At Vickers Lawns, we recommend starting with a comprehensive cleaning—rake away leaves and branches to allow sunlight to reach the grass and facilitate healthy growth. Following this, aerating the soil helps improve air circulation and nutrient absorption. This is also an excellent time to deal with any bare patches by seeding over them to ensure even coverage as growth resumes.

As spring fades into summer, your lawn may face the challenge of hot, dry conditions. This period is critical for maintaining moisture levels, and a proper watering routine is vital. Vickers Lawns suggests watering early in the morning to minimize evaporation and allow deeper penetration, fostering stronger roots. Regular mowing remains essential, but be sure to adjust the mower height; cutting grass too short can stress the lawn and make it more susceptible to heat damage. Applying a slow-release fertilizer during this period can fortify your lawn against the summer sun and help maintain its lush appearance.

Autumn provides an opportunity for recovery and preparation. As temperatures drop, this season is excellent for addressing worn-out summer lawns. At Vickers Lawns, we focus on tasks like overseeding—an effective way to improve grass density. An autumn feed provides much-needed nutrients, specifically potassium, to strengthen the grass for the upcoming cold months. Raking up fallen leaves ensures they don't smother the grass and encourages airflow. As with the previous seasons, continue mowing, albeit less frequently, and gradually reduce mowing height as winter approaches.

Winter, though often dormant, is equally critical for your lawn care routine. It’s crucial to minimize foot traffic on frosty or dormant grass to prevent damage. At Vickers Lawns, we remind our customers to avoid excessive lawn use during this time and to monitor the perimeter for any signs of pests or disease. While fertilization is generally not recommended in winter, keeping an eye on moisture levels and ensuring proper drainage can help reduce stress on the grass.

Navigating the intricacies of seasonal lawn care might seem daunting, but with Vickers Lawns, you have a partner who understands these requirements deeply. We tailor our services to meet the distinct needs of each season, ensuring your lawn remains a point of pride throughout the year.
