Spring Lawn Care Essentials for a Neighborhood-Leading Yard

Early Spring Cleanup

Remove winter debris (branches, rocks) to give grass room to grow.

Fertilize Smart

Use controlled-release fertilizer for slow, even nutrient delivery—promotes uniform growth. Avoid high-nitrogen fast-release products that can damage grass.

Crabgrass Prevention Timing

Apply pre-emergent before crabgrass roots (mid-May in most regions). Adjust for local climate—warmer areas need earlier application.

Controlled-Release Is Key

Whether spring or fall, controlled-release formulations outperform traditional fertilizers by preventing surge growth and nutrient runoff.
