Cooler temperatures can only mean one thing: winter is here. While you don’t have to do as much work to your lawn in the winter, you can’t totally forget about it. To ensure that your lawn will still be in good shape come spring, here are a couple winter lawn care tips from your hometown Knoxville lawn service:
- Keep your lawn clean
People often forget about lawn care during the winter. This results in leaves piled up all over your lawn, which could easily be covered in snow. When leaves become wet they invite disease and kill the grass underneath them. Before the leaves get too thick or wet, mulch the leaves with your lawn mower or rake and remove them so they will not cause damage to your lawn. Also, lawn furniture and debris should be removed so they do not kill the grass underneath them from being left out all winter. - Aerate and Fertilize
Before the first frost of the year, you should aerate your lawn. If you’ve never aerated before, contact a local Knoxville lawn service such as Quick Cuts Lawn Service to aerate and fertilize your lawn for you. Aerating your lawn gives it a chance to breathe before the grass goes dormant for the winter. After you’ve aerated, it’s good to fertilize it to give it the essential nutrients it needs for winter. By properly aerating and fertilizing, you can prevent weeds and pests coming in the spring.
