Getting Your Maple Grove MN Lawn Ready for Spring: Lawn Care Tips



Advanced Irrigation has some great lawn care tips for your Maple Grove MN home. One of the last things on your mind during the winter months is lawn care. Maple Grove MN is pretty cold this time of year. But it’s never too early to start thinking spring!

One of the best lawn care chores you can start taking care of early on in the season is raking. Be sure to rake any leaves and debris, plus the first layer of thatch on your grass. Look out over your Maple Grove MN lawn and check out any bare or brown patches on your lawn. Get some grass seed and apply it (but be sure snow season is over!). Mulching is another necessary lawn care chore. Again, this is best done after the threat of snow is over. Two to three inches of mulch should go around the base of any plants, trees or shrubs in your Maple Grove MN yard. 

Then take another look at your Maple Grove MN lawn. Are there any dead tree limbs lying around (maybe the result of a snow storm or blizzard)? Remove those branches and prune any shrubs in your yard. 

If any weeds have grown throughout the winter, yet another lawn care chore is to pull those and spray some weed-killer to make sure they don’t come back before the spring and warm weather arrive. No sense in doing that lawn care chore twice if you can help it!

Finally, take the time to check on your lawn mower, which is your greatest tool when it comes to lawn care. Make sure the blades are sharp, the oil is changed and any air filters are new and clean.
