Spring lawn preparation
Two important things you need to do to your lawn within the next 3 weeks.
- Check and adjust your lawn’s pH level. (Ideal pH Range: 5.5 – 6.5)
Use soil Doctor lime per soil test recommendation. Lime really can be applied at any
time.
Spring is a great time to test your soil, and you can apply lime between fall and early spring. Many gardeners prefer to lime just before the first frost in fall because the soil has all winter to absorb the lime. Don’t spread lime on a dry, wilted lawn or a soggy, wet lawn. - Apply pre-emergent. Early Spring and Fall are the most effective times to apply pre–emergent herbicides. They can be applied throughout the year and will prevent new weeds that sprout; however, most weeds sprout during spring and fall.
Pre-emergent herbicides are designed to control germinating weed seeds. As its name suggests, pre-emergent is targeted towards weeds that have not yet emerged from the soil.

Winter Lawncare Tips
While your lawn may not require as much care in the winter as it does in spring, summer, and fall, you don’t want to ignore it completely. To ensure it will be in good shape come springtime, you’ll want to take the following steps.
Aerate & Fertilize
Just before your area’s first expected frost date, head out to your lawn and aerate. If you’ve never aerated before or need a little reminder, check out How to Aerate Your Lawn. Aerating gives your lawn a chance to breathe before the grass goes dormant, and helps relieve any compaction that has built up during the warmer months.
After you’ve opened up your lawn, it’s a good time to fertilize with Scotts® Turf Builder® WinterGuard® Fall Lawn Food. Fertilizing your lawn gives your grass the essential nutrients it needs as it prepares for winter. The grass roots absorb and store the nutrients during the winter months. Then, in the spring, your lawn taps into those stored nutrients giving it a head start, making it green and lush. By having a properly cared-for lawn, you’ll also help prevent weeds, pests, and diseases from moving in once it warms up. Scotts.com
Now is also a good time to treat any stubborn weeds in your lawn.

Fall 2020 is here
Fall weather is here, so this means it’s time to add pre-emergent to your lawns. Pre-emergent in the fall prevents winter germinating weeds from growing in the spring. One of the most evasive weeds I’ve seen in the neighborhood is poa-annua (click to read more about this weed).
Fall is the ideal time to get tulips, daffodils, crocus, and other bulbs into the ground when it’s cool but before it freezes. The weather is cool, so get outside and work on your lawn and garden for next year.
