PREPARE YOUR LAWN FOR SPRING!

When winter is finally over, it's important to thaw out your plants and give them some well-needed rest. In order for the grasses and trees in our landscapes to get their nutrients back on track after being dormant all year long under a blanket of ice or snow. They need fresh organic matter such as leaves from deciduous shrubs placed around flower beds.

Here are some helpful ideas given by spring cleaning services Calgary professionals to prepare your lawn for spring.

Do some cleaning:

It's not just about getting rid of the leaves on your lawn - it's also important to clean up any debris accumulated over winter. 

If you don't, this will affect how well fertilizers work and can even block absorbency in case there are problems with nutrients being able to retain them by another method, such as too much hay or straw left out overnight before rainfalls come; washing through later in springtime!

Apply fertilizer and weed killer:

Early in the spring, use a combination of fertilizer and pre-emergent herbicide to prevent crabgrass. Then six weeks later, apply both products again with a broadleaf weed killer for any pesky weeds that may come up before your eyes! 

You don't want this battleship green lawn syndrome, so check out some brands offering combined solutions.

Moe early, now often:

It's a good idea to cut your grass more often at the beginning of spring. If you wait until it gets too high, then just one mowing will not be enough for its growth and roots, which can lead to sustainability problems over time! 

The key is usually 6-8 weeks' worth between cuts depending on weather conditions.

Trim the trees:

If you're not sure if your tree has dead branches, climb up into it. If any of its wood is rotten or hazardous (and there's no telling without getting a good look), hire spring cleaning services Calgary experts because they know what they're doing to take care of the problem before things fall off!

Don't seed until fall:

It is tempting to fill brown patches with grass seed, but if you also apply pre-emergent or weed killer, the seeds will not germinate. 

Instead, fertilize your lawn, and in a few weeks, shoots should grow, which can be cut down into anything between individual plants (sod).
