5 Steps to a Lush, Green Lawn

It's safe to say spring has sprung. But before you can enjoy warm afternoons outside, your lawn needs some seasonal love! Nature’s Select® is here with quick and easy maintenance tips to kick-start the season. Let’s dig into some spring lawn maintenance tips that promise a lush, green space you’ll love showing off.

1. Wake Up Your Lawn with a Good Rake

Your grass spent winter under debris, leaves, and twigs, creating a matted mess. Give it a breath of fresh air by gently raking it to remove dead grass and lingering debris. This simple step helps sunlight reach new grass shoots, encouraging healthy growth right from the start.

2. Aeration for Vibrant Grass

Your yard needs oxygen just like you! Lawn aeration punches small holes into compacted soil, allowing essential nutrients, water, and air to reach the grass roots more effectively. Early spring aeration helps the roots grow deeper and stronger, setting the stage for a lush green lawn all summer long.

3. Feed the Need

Spring is prime time to fertilize! A well-fed lawn withstands stress from heat, pests, and disease. Using a quality, slow-release fertilizer provides steady nutrition that enhances root development and boosts your grass’s natural defenses against weeds and pests.

4. Stay Ahead of Unwanted Guests

Weedy grasses like crabgrass and bluegrass thrive when yards are left unchecked. Protect your turf by applying the right weed control and nutrients to your soil. If you're looking for a great eco-friendly solution, our proprietary solutions help balance the microorganisms and ecosystem of your soil, benefiting your grass and keeping weeds at bay.

5. Sharpen Those Blades

Believe it or not, mowing matters! Dull mower blades tear grass, making it susceptible to disease. Sharp blades ensure a clean cut, reducing stress on the grass and promoting healthier growth. Aim to mow regularly, keeping your grass around 2.5–3 inches tall to maintain optimal lawn health.
