Spring is approaching and, in some cases, may even be here already. However, now is the time to get your lawn in shape. Much like us, lawns go into hibernation in the winter and need to get back into shape, as some of us do. We use the spring to start walking and losing our winter weight. Well, our lawn needs to get back into its healthiest form as well. The good thing is, it is not as hard to get back into shape as it is for us. However, it is tedious work that takes up the bulk of your time.
Now is the perfect time to get ahead of the game when it comes to lawn maintenance. As it is time-consuming and tedious, we recommend calling us here at Divine Lawns and leave the work up to the professionals! Our staff has been waiting for winter to leave so we can help you get your lawn ready for spring!
Here is a quick list of lawn maintenance that needs to be done in the spring:
Another set of services that are better and more effective when done together is aeration and overseeding. We actually have done a whole blog on those services alone here. They help tackle the problem of compaction on your lawn. All the foot traffic that occurs during the winter compacts your lawn’s soil and gives it a spongey feel while also not allowing water, air, and nutrients to penetrate the soil and get to the roots of your lawn. This isn’t good for your lawn because it does not get the required materials it needs to survive.
The combo of aeration and overseeding get rid of that problem. You can rent the equipment to do this service, but it takes a professional to get the best results. You also do not want to leave something like this up to chance because you can end up damaging your lawn. Aeration opens up the soil, so overseeding can be successful.

When is the right time for lawn maintenance?
The first service that needs to happen is your spring cleanup. The idea behind the spring cleanup service is to remove any dead or decayed plant life on your lawn from winter, remove any debris that may have fallen on your property. This prevents lawn disease on your grass and also removes an area for pests and insects to make a home. A cleanup is the first step to getting your lawn ready for all the remaining services.What do aeration and overseeding do for my lawn?
