Lawn Maintenance  Month by Month Lawn Care Calendar. 

A strategic guide for lawn maintenance, this is a calendar designed to help homeowners and gardeners gain the best possible outcomes from their lawn throughout the year.

Every month comes with certain demands and tasks which, if done in time, may lead to a lush, green lawn and healthiness. It tells you when to water, fertilize, mow, and perform pest control; it all varies with the different changes of seasons.

This calendar accounts for the passage of season as relating to the impact on lawn care, pointing out why there is a need for a change of lawn care maintenance technique by prevailing weather conditions. For instance, in spring fertilizing and weed control are critical operations; summer time water provision and mowing becomes critical to prevent drying up and maintain growth.

Winter Lawn Preparation and Maintenance Strategies.

It is in January when the perfect time will leave you in a position to give your lawn full care to prepare it for facing the stronghold of cold winters and strong growth in spring. You might think that grass is in some sort of a dormant stage, but it's a fact that it is not only active beneath the surface, but it is preparing itself for the new season. Proper care taken now will make all the difference for your lush green lawn.

A clean lawn is very important. Fallen leaves and litter may cover the grass, paving the entry ways of pests and diseases. Regular raking and removal of litter from your lawn will also help it from such problems. It is also not advisable to walk over your lawn when frosted since grass blades are in a position to suffer more damage once frozen.

Spring Awakening : How to Spring Forwards Your Lawn.

No doubt, the breathed through look of your lawn is imperative when the snow melts and you finally find the first green shoot of spring on it. Returning your lawn from a long and frigid winter doesn't have to be frightening. Instead, it would be smart to just go through a few relatively simple steps, starting with preparing a lush, healthy yard ready for consumption all year round.

Equally important is raking. Apart from cutting dead grass, leaves, and debris, you get to inspect your soil's health. Then comes aeration that brings oxygen, water, and nutrients deeper down into the soil for optimal absorption. Use a core aerator for the full effect; this will remove small chunks of soil.

Lawn care in summer Summer lawn care tips for a green satisfying space

They are venturing out to their lawns mid-July and are going to need some specialized care schedule to help them achieve that fantastic look and healthy green complexion. The very first thing that watering practices do involve much with regard to the health of your lawn is "water deeply, but infrequently". This helps its roots dig deeper in search of water, and it is more resistant to drought. Ideally, the early morning watering controls both evaporation as well as the rate at which disease proliferation will occur.

In addition, mowing is also an important part of lawn beauty and health. Keeping blades at the highest permitted height, which is at 3 inches, will shade the soil. This decreases the evaporation of water and growth of weeds. Not to be overlooked either is that mower blades should always be kept sharp. Dull blades cause grass tearing which will stress the grass as well as provide entry points for diseases.

Another fact is fertilization. However, in the height of the summer months, applications cannot be made too heavily. Such an attack will stress the lawn immensely, most especially when it's under extreme temperatures. If one needs to fertilize very badly, then a light slow-release formula can give the lawn what it needs without overwhelming it.
