Wake Up Your Lawn for Spring
How you care for your lawn depends
on what type of grass you grow.
Understanding the type of grass you have
as spring dawns will help you keep it
growing and healthy all year long.
Depending on your weather, say the
experts at House Logic, your grass begins
growing in earnest in spring. Approaching
your fi rst mowing, avoid cutting wet grass.
It may spread disease and you’ll clog your
lawn mower.
GET YOUR MOWER IN SHAPE
Before you get started, sharpen your
mower blades for clean cuts. Dull blades
rip at grass, leaving behind jagged edges
that discolor and invite pathogens,
according to House Logic. Having a sharp
back-up blade on hand is also helpful.
Remember, your mower will likely be a
little “out of tune” in the months its spent
without use. Install new spark plugs and an
air fi lter, along with fresh oil and gas. Don’t

In many parts of the country, the end of daylight savings time
brings the arrival of spring. And along with the sun comes the
return of leafy trees and the greening of winter-worn lawns.
Wake up your lawn for spring with these tips.
start up using old gas. Winter moisture can
accumulate and harm your mower’s small
engine. Dispose of it properly and fi ll up
with a new tank.
now’s the time.
You’ll know it’s time when your grass
begins its fi rst growth spurt.
AERATION
Aerating will punch small holes in
the lawn to allow water, fertilizers and
oxygen to seep into grass roots. Choose a
damp day when an aeration machine can
perform most effi ciently.
TIDY UP YOUR LAWN
Cleaning up your lawn will make it easier
to mow. Break out the rake and get rid of
leaves and twigs that have accumulated
over the winter. Clearing debris will open
your lawn for fertilizer and herbicides.
HERBICIDES
Use pre-emergent herbicides to
prevent weeds and crabgrass. Using a soil
thermometer, say experts, is the perfect
Fertilizing
If you didn’t fertilize in the fall — and
you should, especially in colder climates —
tool to determine when to use herbicide
(58 degrees to halt crabgrass, for example).
BEWARE GRUB WORMS
Warm weather brings grub worms
and other beetles to feed on your lawn,
causing brown and wilted patches. To
inspect, pull back sod and look for white,
C-shaped grubs, say Home Logic experts.
More than 10 per square foot and you
should treat with a chemical pesticide.
Milky spore is an environmentally friendly
way to control some species of grubs.
CUTTING TIP
As summer approaches, your grass
will begin growing faster. It might be
necessary to cut more than once a week.
But to keep your lawn healthy for the long,
warm weather ahead, mow often enough
to remove no more than a third of the
grass blade.
