The weather in and around Iowa can be extreme, with hot, dry summers and frigid, harsh winters. This all means your lawn takes a beating, even during this cold season when it’s dormant. It’s why there are some steps that are important to consider and where Lawn Doctor of Dubuque comes in. As a top choice in spring lawn care in the Dubuque, IA area, we know how to treat your turf now, so it rebounds green and bright, requiring less work in the future. Here’s what to do.
What Lawn Care Steps You Can Take to Create a Strong Comeback in Spring
At this time of the year, energy is being redirected down to the root system. This means, up above, blades are more vulnerable and why it’s important to:
Limit lawn usage. Minimize foot traffic and don’t drive vehicles over your lawn. If you do, you’ll crush your grass since it’s more brittle and prone to damage.
Avoid salting excessively. If you do, it can easily get washed into your lawn, stripping of it of much-needed moisture. Instead, salt sparingly and with care.
Make yard clean-up part of your routine. Any time high winds or snow and ice lead to leaves, branches or twigs in your yard, clear them out. If they sit there all winter, they’ll trap moisture and block sunlight, triggering diseases.
In addition to the tips above, now’s also a good time to winterize your mower. You’re handling fewer lawn care demands than during the Dubuque area’s spring and have more time to get those blades sharpened, filter cleaned, and oil changed.
