Spring Preparation for Your Lawn
For many of us, a luscious lawn is one of the most important features of the garden once the temperature warms. We all want picture-perfect grass that’s a beautiful shade of green – lovely for lounging on, running across barefoot, or simply admiring from the patio. We certainly don’t want an eyesore of shabby, moss-filled, half-dead turf to be the focal point of our plot. To achieve the former, preparation is key. Here we’ve rounded up plenty of top lawn maintenance tips to try this spring, from how to use your best lawn mower for perfect results to advice on over-seeding, and more:
Give it a rake, but gently.
The turbulent weather of winter can cause leaves, twigs, and all other kinds of debris to fall onto your lawn. So, to kickstart its spruce-up, grab your best garden rake, and clear it all up, so you’re just left with the grass. Then, you might want to think about scarification. This is the process of working through the lawn to remove organic matter that can undermine its health.
Take your lawn mower for a spin.
Your trusty cordless lawn mower (or maybe you’ve opted for one of our low-maintenance best robot lawn mowers) has most likely been out of action over winter. But once spring arrives, it’s time to dust off the cobwebs and wheel them back out of the shed, ready for the first mow of the season. But, before you let it loose, there are a few top tricks to bear in mind.
Neaten up the edges.
Re-shaping lawn edges should also be on your list of spring lawn care tips to try. Getting rid of straggly, overgrown lines will make your turf look so much smarter, and it’s really straightforward to do. All you need is an edging iron tool, or, if you don’t want to remove any of the edge itself, a pair of lawn shears.
