SOS February Lawn Care Tips: Get Your Lawn Ready for Spring

Even though winter is still hanging on, now is the perfect time to start thinking about your lawn. A little preparation in February can make a big difference once spring arrives.

Here are some important spring lawn care tips and reminders to help your yard get off to a strong start this season.

🌿 Plan Early for Spring Services: Spring is our busiest time of year. Scheduling services early ensures your lawn receives timely treatments, such as fertilization and crabgrass prevention, when they matter most.

🚜Clean Up Winter Debris: As snow melts, remove fallen branches, leaves, and debris from your lawn. Clearing these away allows sunlight and air to reach the grass, helping prevent mold and disease.

🌬️ Watch for Snow Mold & Winter Damage: Monitor for gray or pink patches caused by snow mold. Keeping the lawn free of snow piles and winter debris can help the grass recover more quickly as temperatures warm.

❄️ Avoid Heavy Foot Traffic: Grass will be fragile as it emerges from winter dormancy. Limiting foot traffic now helps prevent soil compaction and damage to the emerging grass.

🌿 Start Thinking About Weeds: Many weeds begin growing before you see them. Early spring pre-emergent treatments are one of the best ways to stop weeds before they take over your lawn.

Spring will be here before we know it, and a little preparation now can mean a greener, healthier lawn all season long.
