April is a good time to give more attention to the lawn in spring. These useful tips guide you step by step through basic lawn care before the warm season begins.
Lawn care in spring – where to start
Spring lawn care begins with a few important steps. Once the first sunny days arrive, the grass starts growing again. About two weeks later, it is usually time for the first mowing. Keep the grass at least about 5 cm high at the beginning of the season. Check the condition of the lawn as well. If you find moss, scarifying may be necessary. This treatment should be done carefully and only when needed. The right equipment can often be rented from a garden center. After the first spring care, you can also test the soil pH; for many lawns, a slightly acidic to neutral range is best. If the pH is too low, liming may help, but it should be done according to the test result.
Step by step, prepare your lawn for summer
Fertilizing is another important step in spring lawn care and should not be overlooked. If scarifying has removed a lot of moss, a suitable lawn fertilizer can support new growth. Use a spreader if possible, so the fertilizer is distributed evenly. Pay attention to the weather forecast and fertilize before light rain, which helps the nutrients reach the roots more quickly.
