It’s of critical importance to review your lawn space and determine your home’s requirements ready for the arrival of winter in the coming months. Without adequate preparation for the cooler temperatures, you could find the soil in your lawn cracks and bare patches appear that remain over many years. To help guide you in protecting your lawn this wintertime, our Calgary landscapers present their quick guide in this latest post.
Fertilize the Lawn in Early Winter
The latest data shows it’s beneficial to fertilize a lawn in the early wintertime, when the nutrients from a dry summer might have been lost. Doing so at the earliest opportunity ensures those nutrients are in place ready for the cooler weather and will help to protect the lawn over the winter months.
Try to Keep Grass Short
It’s important to keep your grass as low as possible to the ground during winter months. Taller grass provides a home for mice and other creatures, who will then burrow in the ground and potentially damage your lawn space. Simply mowing the lawn on a regular basis can mitigate this problem.
Prevent Foot Traffic
Try also to limit the amount of foot traffic on your lawn throughout the winter. This is a time when the sod and soil are at their most vulnerable to damage, and limiting foot traffic can help protect the space ready for use during the spring and summer of 2017.
