How to Prepare Your Lawn For Spring

Now that the weather is warming up and the grass is growing, you’ll want to get your yard into shape for spring and summer enjoyment. But you can’t just pull out your lawn mower and start cutting your grass immediately. First, you need to make sure your yard is ready for spring. Here’s what to do.

Clear Up Debris

Kids’ toys, sports equipment, dog toys, branches, rocks, and gardening tools might be littering your yard. You’ll need to go around and pick everything up so that you have a clean slate for mowing. Removing these items will help make mowing easier and ensure that you don’t accidentally damage your mower.

Maintain Your Lawn Mower

If it’s been a few months since you last mowed your lawn, you’ll want to look over your mower to ensure it’s in good condition. Top off fuel and change the oil and filters as necessary. Make sure the lawn mower is clean overall and that the blades are nice and sharp. If you need some help with maintaining your lawn mower, get in touch with the service department here at Eastman Equipment Company so we can schedule you an appointment with our helpful service team.

Feed Your Yard

Your lawn likely needs some nutrients in order for the grass to grow thick and lush. Applying fertilizer now is a great idea. If you have bald patches that need seeding, spring is the perfect time to plant it. Water any patchy areas daily and stay on top of fertilizing your yard for best results.
