Spring is around the corner! That means it’s time to start thinking about your lawn — but where should you begin?

Here’s a simple roadmap to prep your lawn for the year:

1. Clean up debris by raking leaves and sticks left from winter.
2. Check your soil – A soil test can help tailor fertilizer and amendments.
3. Apply pre-emergent weed control to prevent crabgrass and other weeds before they emerge.
4. Fertilize first to give your turf nutrients as it emerges from dormancy.
5. Begin mowing when grass starts actively growing (usually when temperatures are consistently above ~50°F).

Consistency matters. Starting lawn care early, ideally late winter through early spring, helps your lawn grow stronger throughout the season and keeps weeds and pests in check.
