With lawn care it pays to start early. A little bit of preparation can go a long way toward making your lawn look green and healthy earlier than ever this spring.

Lawn care needs to start before the weeds do. In the Fort Wayne area, we often start as early as late February applying pre-emergent crabgrass control. Here are some things you can do to help your lawn look its best this spring.

• Clean Up Debris

  Pick up sticks and rake up any leaves that are on the grass. The crabgrass control can’t reach the grass through any yard debris, so those spots will be unprotected if they’re not cleaned up.

• Rake Matted Grass

  Grass that has been matted down by snow cover is susceptible to a disease called snow mold. Remove any lingering piles of snow once the weather breaks and rake the grass beneath.

• Apply Crabgrass Control Early

  Crabgrass can be largely controlled if pre-emergent control products are applied early. Now is a good time to call Signature Lawn Services about treating your lawn before crabgrass season arrives.

• Fertilize Early

  Applying nutrients to your turf roots early means healthier, greener lawn. Signature Lawn Services can help your lawn get off to a good start with the right treatments at the right time.

• Mow As Soon As You Can

  Mowing encourages growth. Once you notice that your lawn is starting to green, get out there and mow it. Your lawn will respond by greening up earlier.

Follow these tips and you’ll have a healthy-looking lawn earlier in the season.
