Kelly Baumbach • Apr 04, 2016

With the hum of lawnmowers soon to fill the air across Calgary, it’s now the time when many are beginning to attend to their spring lawn maintenance. The warming temperatures make it essential to pay closer attention to your lawn space at this time of the year, and so within this post, our Calgary landscaperspresent three tips for spring lawn maintenance in 2016.

1. Reseeding Bare Lawn

The cooler temperatures and snow can have a significant impact on our lawn areas, leaving many spaces bare and brown. It’s now the ideal time to begin the reseeding process. To start reseeding lawn areas, measure the size of your yard space and then choose the amount of seed you’ll need to cover that space. Experts such as our team here at Scott’s Sod Sales & Installationcan help you determine the type of sod you’ll require to enhance the appeal of your home lawn.

2. Sharpen Your Lawn Mower Blades

Many people still don’t understand the value of having lawnmower blades sharpened each year. By retaining sharp lawnmower blades, you can ensure that your lawn is cut to the optimal height for your grass. This will help you keep grass healthy over a long period of time. A sharper blade will also limit the amount of work you’ll have to do to cut the grass in future.

3. Aerate Your Lawn

Lawn aeration has a number of benefits. It reduces soil compaction and stimulates new growth from within the area. The aeration process also helps improve water, air and nutrient filtration to your lawn, significantly enhancing lawn health over time.

By following these three simple spring lawn maintenance tips, you can ensure your lawn space retains its appeal throughout the year! To learn more, speak with our trusted Calgary landscapersdirectly at 403-890-2267.
