Lawn care during the winter can be a real tough job, especially with the cold weather and the snow. You will want to spend your holiday curled up in front of the fireplace, getting warm and sipping your eggnog instead of worrying about lawn care. To help you with that, here are some tips that you can do.
Before winter comes, give a few more hours of your time to your lawn care. When you are mowing, lower the mowing height. This will let you cut shorter than what you have previously done. You have to do this to avoid the grass growing while the season is approaching. Do the cutting as if you are shaving the grass. Cut the grass short, but not very short so that you will remove the green tissues. You will just end up doing damage to your lawn if this is the case.
The winter involves the application of fertilizers before the snow begins to fall. Do this a few days before snow begins. This will not be used immediately by the grass, but during the whole winter season. As spring approaches, you will see the effects of the fertilizers that you have applied. Also, you have to avoid damages to your law. To make sure that your lawn care is at its best during winter, remove all things that are lying in your lawn such as your gardening tools, and your children's toys. Together with the fertilizers, your lawn will also require aeration before winter. Take also the opportunity to learn more about how to keep a lawn while you are not doing anything during the winter.
These are but simple and easy steps that you can do for your lawn care just before the winter comes. This way, you will have nothing to worry about. You can simply enjoy the holidays without worrying about your lawn.
