YOUR SPRING GUIDE TO GREENER GRASS

April through early May is the best time to build a healthy, lush lawn. From mowing, to early-season weed and feed treatments, we’ll offer tried-and-true tips so grass will be greener on your side.

WATERING: Give your lawn a deep soak, especially in areas along sidewalks that may have been salted or sanded over the winter. 

MOWING: When temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees, and frost is no longer in the ground, you can lightly rake your lawn and mow it. We recommend setting the mowing blade to 3″ or 4″. Your first lawn mowing should be set higher to help your lawn establish a deeper root system. 

CRABGRASS PREVENTER: A few days after your first mowing, apply crabgrass preventer – a pre-emergent product that can ONLY be applied in the Spring. The best time to apply is when soil temperatures are between 40 and 55 degrees. Do not apply after the soil temp has reached above 55. Click the link to learn your soil temps here: https://www.greencastonline.com/tools/soil-temperature

MAXLawn’s Crabgrass Preventer with Lawn Food is a granular, pre-emergent product that is safe and easy to use on existing lawns. It destroys crabgrass before it starts and will control crabgrass that has germinated (when seedlings first become visible) within the past 4 weeks. 

*Do not use Crabgrass Preventer in conjunction with new seeding, sodding, or over-seeding. Wait 10 to 12 weeks after crabgrass preventer application to apply grass seed or sod. 

WEED & FEED: If crabgrass is not an issue in your lawn, check out MAXLawn’s Weed and Feed. This product nourishes your lawn while controlling a variety of broadleaf weeds. Apply in the Spring before weeds emerge from the soil, or when they are small. Wait at least 30 days to seed or sod on applied sites.

REPAIR BARE SPOTS & OVERSEED: Spring is a great time to overseed your lawn to repair damaged grass and fill in bare spots. We offer exceptional grass seed varieties for full-sun, sun/shade, or dense shade lawns. For smaller areas, use quick and easy Rapid Repair Pods to treat dog spots, weed patches, or mole mounds. 

ENRICH YOUR SOIL: Top-dress your lawn with Coast of Maine’s Organic and Natural Black Earth Lawn Soil to boost nutrients in your soil and aid your lawn in moisture-retention.

We’re here to help you with all of your lawncare, landscape and gardening needs! Visit our website at www.balsamlakeprolawn.com or call us at 715-485-3131 and press option 1 for Retail.

Happy Spring from all of us at Balsam Lake Pro-Lawn!
