Seasonal Tips & Trends
- Recommended Spring Treatments
- As soil temperatures begin to increase during late winter and early spring, fescue and warm season grass (Bermuda/Zoysia/St. Augustine, etc.) lawns begin to wake up. What does this mean for your lawn and what should you be doing about it?
Fescue Lawns - If you were smart, you performed a thorough aeration and seeding during the fall of last year and there will be no need to aerate and seed during the spring. We recommend applying a pre-emergent fertilizer once in February and then again in April. Use March to clean up any existing weeds that may have poked its head through your first round of pre-emergent. Fescue planted last year will now begin to reach something called “full lateral maturation”. Grass you plant in the fall only reaches about 50% maturity. You will begin to see what was once baby grass last fall begin to beef up and your lawn will become much thicker and greener. We hardly ever recommend aeration and seeding in the spring as fescue has a hard time maturing quick enough to withstand the harsh conditions of summer when planted in the spring. If you must, we recommend aerating and seeding in late February. Forego any pre-emergents or weed killers until you’ve mowed your new grass at least 3 times. Fungus control will also be imperative as new fescue grass is like a child during the spring and summer months, it’s very prone to getting sick with fungus and other diseases.
Warm Season Grasses such as Bermuda and Zoysia: The pre-emergent you applied should still be holding strong. Now that soil temps are on the rise, you will begin to see the hearty grasses start to wake up and look forward to the warm weather to come. We recommend cleaning up any lingering winter weeds in March and then a pre-emergent in April. Aeration of warm season grasses should only be performed when it is FULLY out of dormancy state and actively growing. May and June are prime times to do this in southeast areas of the country.- Your soil is most active during the warm seasons. This means all of the little beneficial microbes, fungi and bugs are hard at work providing essential nutrients to your turf. Introducing an organic-rich nutrient into your soil only enhances the microbial activity and will help build a very healthy soil profile. You can add a 100% organic fertilizer during any month of the warm season regardless of the grass type. A more organic soil profile is not only healthier for the plant, it will also build tremendous drought tolerance.
