Lawn Aeration – STOP and Read This FIRST
Saturday, September 12th, 2009A green lawn is inviting – and a carpet of lush grass screams of care and pride in your home. Set the tone of your neighborhood and produce the lawn that everyone is talking about. To do that you of course need to properly tend your lawn throughout the growing season. That includes mowing, watering, weeding, and raking as needed. However, as the fall gets near your lawn will thrive in the spring if you go about a good winterizing program of lawn aeration and fertilization.
Winterizing is particularly necessary in colder areas where winter frost and snow covers the ground for extended periods. Contrary to popular belief, grass doesn’t die in the winter. Rather, it hibernates during the long, cold, sunless months much like a bear or deer. Winterizing is especially helpful if the lawn isn’t in optimal health to begin with.
Timing does matter. When it comes to your lawn, the timing for your winterizing should be just before the first frost. Of course, since you cannot control the weather, you just need to do the best you can. It is better to be too early than to be too late.
