Mow Your Lawn Like a Pro

5 Tips to Get Your Lawn Lush and Ready to Cut This Spring

  • Rake and Remove Debris
    Kick off the season by raking up leaves, twigs, and leftover thatch. This clears the way for sunlight and fresh air to reach the soil, giving your grass a strong start.
  • Aerate if Needed
    If your lawn feels compacted or you notice water pooling, consider aerating. This opens up the soil, allowing water, nutrients, and oxygen to reach the roots more effectively. (Rent an aerator HERE)
  • Apply a Spring Fertilizer
    A balanced spring fertilizer can jump-start growth and green-up. Choose one with a good mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to strengthen root systems and encourage lush blades. (We suggest this one from Cardinal Ace Hardware)
  • Overseed Thin Spots
    Patchy areas? Throw down some grass seed to fill them in before the growing season kicks into high gear. Be sure to water consistently until the new grass is established. (This one is great for patch & repair) 
  • Sharpen Your Mower Blades
    A clean cut is key to healthy grass. Dull blades tear rather than slice, making your lawn more vulnerable to disease. Sharpen those blades before your first mow of the season! (We sharpen blades at Dragoon's Farm Equipment!)
