Tips for a healthy, beautiful St. Louis lawn all year long

January & February Lawn Care

Replanting those overgrown house plants is a good project to complete while the snow keeps falling, and falling. Gently wash off the leaves or mist lightly to wash off any dust that has settled. While dusting check for any insects that may have nestled in for the winter and treat accordingly. Your plants will be so happy!

March Lawn Care in St. Louis

The snow is melting, the weather is warmer, and your lawn is beginning to green up. Fertilizing your lawn with a pre-emergent will help speed up this process and give you a head start on a healthy, green lawn throughout the year, while preventing the germination of summer annual weeds. You also might want to consider an aeration if you haven’t done so within the past couple of years. Either way, if you keep these next few things in mind, you can transform your lawn from good to great!

You’ve heard the phrase “April showers bring May flowers.” Well put on your shower caps and bring out your umbrellas, because the heavens will be pouring rain which will accelerate plant growth.

September Lawn Care in St. Louis

With cooling temperatures, September is a great time of year to plant a new lawn. When seeding, try planting before the 15th to give your lawn sufficient time to reach maturity before winter sets in. Aerating or verticutting your lawn will assist in the planting process.

October brings a beautiful array of leaf colors to your trees, which ultimately will find your lawn. It is important to keep your lawn free of leaves which could result in suffocation of your lawn by cutting off the necessary oxygen for the plants to survive.

This will not only enhance the look of your outdoors all winter long, but most importantly give your lawn its best chance to survive the harsh winter climate.
