Proper Lawn Maintenance For Green Grass

If you want to make sure that you have green grass s spring there are a few tips and basic lawn maintenance procedures that you need to follow right now before the rains stop and you are left with a brown front garden.

The good news is that most of these tips are easy to follow and can easily be completed on your own if you simply know what to do. Of course, if you do not have the time you can always hire a crew to come in and help you out with these tasks as well.

The first thing you need to do is make sure that your garden is clear of any debris that may have accumulated during the long winter months. This means taking the time to go out into your garden and clearing away any large sticks, stones, or any other leaves that may have been left over from the autumn season as these items will choke the grassy areas preventing it from growing. You may also need to pick up any rubbish that may have blown into your garden during the winter or as a result of the strong pre-spring winds that often course through the region.

After the debris is cleaned up the next piece of advice you will need to follow in terms of spring lawn maintenance includes looking over your garden for any areas where mud may have accumulated. This is due to the fact that muddy areas often develop in small sinkholes in the garden and prevent grass from growing.

They also result in killing the grass roots that may otherwise have been present from last season so you will need to lightly seed these areas with new grass before it can grow.
When seeding new grass throughout your garden you want to take care to evenly space out the seed as you toss it so that you do not get uneven patches of grass growth in your garden.

You will also need to cover up all areas that you seed with light hay or special protection materials that you can purchase from your local floral shop to keep the new seed from blowing away or being trampled away from garden wildlife. This is one of the most important steps of spring lawn maintenance that is often neglected even though it is simple enough to do.


Finally, you will want to purchase organic grass fertiliser to help stimulate the growth of your new grass as well as the growth of the old grass. While you can use other fertilisers, organics are the best for grass growth overall and will damage the surrounding garden cement and pathways the least.

In addition, you can safely apply organics without worrying about children or pets in the garden which make them an easy and safe way to get your garden ready for the spring season. If you follow these tips you should have no problem getting the green grass that will be the envy of your neighbours.
