In many areas, including Knoxville, TN, when it starts to get colder outside, lawn grass goes dormant. Despite the colder weather, and sometimes even snow cover, lawn care doesn’t quit in the winter! Quick Cuts Lawn Care can help you care for your yard and keep it healthy even during the cold winter months.
Clean Up
It’s important to keep your yard clean and free of debris, leaves, or toys at any time of year, but especially in the winter. When these things are left out on your lawn they can cause the grass to become smothered. This can create disease conditions, or even invite insects, mice, and other pests. Read more here.
Mowing
When the weather starts to get cooler, continue mowing your lawn until it stops growing. Cutting the grass shorter that usual is normal, however, you should gradually lower the height of your mower rather than reducing the height all at once. Cutting your lawn too short can encourage weeds and disease that will cause bare patches come springtime.
Aerating
Aerating your lawn works to provide extra air for grassroots by creating holes down into the soil to alleviate compaction. This allows air, water and nutrients to more easily reach the grassroots and help your lawn stay healthy. A lawn care professional will have the experience and knowledge to help you with aerating your lawn and providing the right nutrients to help your grass survive the winter.
Fertilizing
Wintertime is a good time to apply some fertilizer to your grass. This can be done with a spreader. There are many types of fertilizer, but the one that is best for you will depend on the type of grass you have and the type of nutrients it needs. Hire a lawn care expert to make sure that it’s done right.
