Here are some great winter lawn care tips.
Tip 1 – Mow Higher
The reason we let the growing height go up is because there is less
sunlight during autumn and winter so the more leaf blade we can have exposed to the scarce sunlight will maximise plant health. If you don’t mow, the lawn may develop a substantial thatch layer, which leaves the lawn looking brown when it gets cut.
Tip 2 – Soil Management
Aeration is about perforating the soil of the lawn. The small holes created through aeration help with the penetration of air, water and vital nutrients down to the roots of the grass. In turn, when the grass’s roots receive an ample supply of these resources, it grows deeply and becomes more resilient.
Tip 3 – Weed and Clear
Winter conditions are when broadleaf weeds thrive. Weeds will
make the lawn look untidy, so keep an eye out and remove or apply weed killer where necessary. It is important not to leave debris and leaves on the lawn. These things will smother the grass and create disease conditions. You could also rake the lawn to break up soil clumps and cover the grass seeds a bit.
