3 Ways to Nurture Your Lawn through Winter

As winter blankets the world in a serene layer of snow, it might seem like your Winston-Salem lawn is taking a well-deserved rest. However, the truth is that the winter months are crucial for maintaining a lush, healthy lawn come spring. At Nature's Select®, we understand the importance of winter lawn care, and we're here to guide you through the process of keeping your green oasis in top-notch condition.

1. Spring 1 Formula

During the winter months, our expert team takes proactive steps to ensure your lawn is ready to flourish when spring arrives. One key aspect of our winter lawn care strategy is the application of our Spring 1 formula. This specialized formula is designed to provide your lawn with the care it needs, including crabgrass and broadleaf weed control. Both crabgrass and broadleaf weeds are persistent weeds that can wreak havoc on your lawn's health, and by applying this treatment during the winter, we create a protective barrier that inhibits the germination and growth of these seeds.

2. Winter Fertilization

While your lawn may not be actively growing during winter, it still requires nutrients to maintain its overall health. Our select lawn care program includes a carefully balanced blend of fertilizers that provide essential nutrients to the soil. This ensures that your grass roots receive the nourishment they need, promoting a robust and resilient lawn.

3. Winter Pest Control

Finally, don't forget that even in the winter, pests can be detrimental to the health of your lawn. Here at Nature's Select®, we advocate for a holistic approach to pest management—one that goes beyond mere extermination and eradication. Instead, we focus on effectively controlling pest populations to mitigate potential damage. Through a carefully coordinated program, we strive to enhance the overall health of your soil and plants, simultaneously minimizing the impact of pests on your landscape.

Nature's Select® is committed to providing a comprehensive lawn care program throughout the year, fortifying your plants, and keeping your soil healthy. Take the first step towards a thriving lawn by contacting us today to request your free estimate. Begin the journey of nurturing your lawn, even during the winter months!
