Winter Lawn Tips

Here are some steps to help your lawn for this Winter.

1.Gradually lower the mowing height of your mower. Any young growth makes your lawn more vulnerable to winter diseases which can leave you with a dried out brown winter lawn. However, trim the lawn gradually in several steps to avoid suddenly removing all the green leaf tissue and damaging the turf.

2.Clear your lawn of any debris that can smother your grass. Toys, kid pools, and other items should not be left of the grass and turf, especially if you live in a climate that may cause snow.

3.Research what plants thrive in your region. Apply this knowledge when planning your spring planting.
