Prop­er care dur­ing this peri­od will allow you to enjoy a thick and lus­cious green car­pet through­out the warm months.

How do you prepare your lawn after winter?

Appro­pri­ate prepar­ing the lawn for spring requires a well-con­sid­ered strat­e­gy in which you take into account both aes­thet­ic and plant health aspects. The first step is to assess the con­di­tion of your lawn after win­ter. How to pre­pare your lawn after win­ter? This is the ques­tion many gar­den­ers ask them­selves as the first rays of spring sun­shine begin to appear on the hori­zon. Win­ter weath­er con­di­tions such as frost, snow or rain can leave a lawn in a weak­ened state. It is there­fore the task of every gar­den­er to restore its splen­dour and vigour.

First and fore­most, it is advis­able to thor­ough­ly clean the lawn of lin­ger­ing leaves, branch­es and oth­er plant debris. Win­ter debris can inhib­it grass growth and pro­mote the devel­op­ment of dis­eases and pests. Next, it is worth scar­i­fy­ing, i.e. aer­at­ing the soil. This process involves prick­ing the soil at reg­u­lar inter­vals, allow­ing air to reach the grass roots. This allows the roots to receive more oxy­gen, which speeds up their growth.

Lawn in spring — care 

Every lawn needs the right nutri­ent sup­port to stay healthy and juicy. Thanks to crop sup­port mea­sures The lawn not only gains in health, but also in vital­i­ty and den­si­ty. The key to suc­cess is the cor­rect appli­ca­tion of fer­tilis­ers in spring. It is par­tic­u­lar­ly impor­tant to pro­vide the lawn with the right ingre­di­ents, such as nitro­gen, which stim­u­lates growth and gives the grass an intense green colour; phos­pho­rus, which pro­motes root devel­op­ment; and potas­si­um, which strength­ens the grass and makes it more resis­tant to drought or dis­ease.

Although the lawn is designed to be the focal point of any gar­den, its out­skirts. Lawn edges play not only an aes­thet­ic role, but also a prac­ti­cal one. Clear and well-main­tained gar­den edg­ing accen­tu­ates the shape and design of the gar­den. In addi­tion, they pro­vide a pro­tec­tive bar­ri­er against unwant­ed weeds or pests such as ants and bee­tles. There­fore, take the time in spring to check the con­di­tion of your edg­ing and, if it is dam­aged or miss­ing, pro­ceed imme­di­ate­ly to replace or repair it.

Grass, like many plants, needs to be refreshed and pre­pared for the new grow­ing sea­son after win­ter. Ear­ly spring is the ide­al time to gen­tly cut the grass to encour­age growth and increase den­si­ty. How­ev­er, it is impor­tant not to cut the grass too low and con­se­quent­ly expose it to dry­ing out or dis­ease. Reg­u­lar mow­ing, car­ried out at the right height, is not only a ques­tion of aes­thet­ics, but above all of the health of the grass. Keep­ing your lawn in the right con­di­tion through­out spring will keep it look­ing beau­ti­ful and healthy all sea­son long.

How do you prepare your lawn for spring? The key to garden perfection!

Prepar­ing your lawn for spring is not only a neces­si­ty, but also an art whose mas­tery brings hor­ti­cul­tur­al sat­is­fac­tion.
