A healthy lawn is always a work in progress, even during the winter months. In fact, many homeowners are embracing the benefits of year-round lawn treatments. While it sounds like more work, treating your lawn throughout the entire calendar can actually reduce your workload and achieve your lawn goals faster and easier.
We specialize in year-round lawn care, with most of our clients receiving nine treatments over the course of 12 months. Here’s why we recommend year-round lawn care for anyone who loves a healthy lawn.
1. Provide Ongoing Nourishment
Your lawn needs nutrients to grow and maintain its health. And contrary to popular belief, nutrients are still necessary in the winter. Promoting healthy roots helps your lawn fight off weeds while ensuring the growth of grass. A strong lawn can also prevent erosion and runoff issues, both of which impact the overall integrity of your home.
When you nourish your lawn year-round, the things you want to thrive (e.g., your trees, shrubs, grass, etc.) will stand a better chance. And the things you don’t want on your lawn, like weeds, will have a lot more competition.
2. Maintain Curb Appeal
Beautiful, healthy lawns don’t go unnoticed. They’re often spotted quickly by passersby, creating a little “green” envy and adding to the overall appeal of the neighborhood. Maintaining your lawn year-round contributes to your overall curb appeal because it’s one of the first things people see.
This is a top priority for homeowners who want to or are thinking about selling their home. Making your home look attractive from the outside is a surefire way to woo potential buyers and set the tone for what they will find inside. Achieving a beautiful lawn is easier when you’re working on it year-round rather than letting cosmetic issues build up for months.
3. Prevent Weeds
Weeds spread quickly and can choke out healthy grass and plants by stealing nutrients from the soil. They also sprout and grow quickly, which can make your lawn look like a jungle just days after you cut your grass!
The best offense is a good defense, which is why year-round lawn care treatments focus on weed prevention. Our experts use pre-emergent and post-emergent at strategic times of the year. This allows us to keep our customers’ weeds at bay, prevent them from spreading, and preserve your lawn’s nutrients. When applied at the right time of year (pre-emergent in the late winter/early spring and post-emergent in the spring and August), your lawn should stay relatively weed-free!
4. Prevent Pests and Diseases
Unkempt yards are playgrounds for pests. They can easily hide in tall weeds and chow down on your healthy plants. Using a year-round lawn care service can keep uninvited pests away by finding and addressing pest problems before they get out of control.
5. Minimize Lawn Problems
Different types of lawns require different types of care. Without the proper treatment, your lawn may become susceptible to diseases, such as brown patches, fairy rings, pythium blight, or fusarium patches. These diseases can quickly take over and demolish any work you’ve put into your lawn. Using a professional year-round lawn service ensures your lawn is properly cared for in all seasons. And if problems do arise, they can be addressed in a timely manner.
