Apply winter fertilizer if not done last month. Clear leaves and debris. Take time to reflect on the year and plan for the next season.
Sharpen mower blades and service your mower. Avoid walking on soggy or frozen grass.
Address any drainage issues. Opt for groundcovers in wet areas. No mowing yet, let birds assist in grub control.
Kick off growth season with organic or slow-release fertilizer. Prep for renovation, thatch removal, and aeration if needed. Mow on a medium setting if required.
Continue fertilizing. Rake and overseed sparse areas or consider hydroseeding. Start regular mowing schedule, and let clippings nourish soil.
Overseed if not done last month. Check irrigation for proper coverage, aiming for one inch of water weekly. Maintain mowing every 5-7 days.
Focus on deep, infrequent watering to promote root growth. Adjust watering based on weather. Continue grasscycling, mow 1-2 times weekly.
Ensure lawn gets an inch of water weekly. Allow for dormancy by reducing watering to once monthly if you choose. Skip fertilization, mow regularly.
Continue regular watering and mowing. Plan for fall interventions and consider alternative groundcovers for challenging sections.
As rains return, resume use of organic or slow-release fertilizers. Start fall renovations with thatching, aerating, and overseeding.
Continue with lawn renovations. Introduce new sod if necessary. Enhance soil with compost and prepare to shut down irrigation systems as weather cools.
Apply winter fertilizer to support turf health through the cold months. Mow as weather permits, avoiding wet or frozen conditions.
