Having a lush and healthy lawn year-round takes dedication and proper care. At Peach State Landscaping, we understand the importance of maintaining your turf to keep it looking its best. That's why we've put together a handy year-round lawn care calendar to help you stay on top of your landscaping needs. With our seasonal advice and expert tips, you can keep your lawn looking green and vibrant no matter the time of year.

Spring: As the temperatures begin to warm up, it's essential to jumpstart your lawn care routine. In the spring, focus on tasks such as aerating, overseeding, and applying a pre-emergent weed control to prevent pesky weeds from taking over your lawn. This is also a great time to schedule a professional lawn mowing service to keep your grass at the optimal height for healthy growth.

Summer: Summer brings its own set of challenges for lawn care, including heat stress and increased water needs. Make sure to water your lawn deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth. If you notice any bare patches or thinning areas, consider overseeding to rejuvenate your lawn's appearance. Regular lawn maintenance, such as mowing and edging, will help keep your turf looking neat and tidy throughout the season.

Fall: As the leaves start to change color and temperatures cool down, it's time to prepare your lawn for the winter months. Fall is an excellent time for core aeration and fertilization to promote strong root growth and nutrient absorption. Removing leaves and debris from your lawn is crucial in preventing disease and pests from taking hold. Don't forget to adjust your mowing height as the grass begins to go dormant for the winter.

Winter: While your lawn may not be actively growing during the winter, there are still steps you can take to ensure its health come spring. Keep your lawn clear of debris, including snow and ice, to prevent compaction and suffocation of the grass. Consider overseeding with cool-season grasses to maintain a green lawn throughout the winter months. If you have hardscaping features, such as walkways or patios, make sure to properly maintain them to prevent damage to your lawn.

By following our year-round lawn care calendar and taking advantage of Peach State Landscaping's seasonal advice, you can keep your turf looking its best in every season.
