Seasonal Lawn Care Tips to Maintain a Healthy and Vibrant Lawn Year-Round Nov 14, 2025

Maintaining a lush and vibrant lawn throughout the year is both an art and a science. At CWB Lawn Care & Landscaping, we know that each season brings its own set of lawn care responsibilities. By understanding the seasonal needs of your lawn, you can ensure its health and beauty all year round. Below, we offer essential lawn care tips tailored to each season, ensuring your yard stays vibrant regardless of the weather.

Spring marks the beginning of the growing season and sets the tone for the rest of the year. As the temperature rises, it’s time to focus on reviving your lawn from winter dormancy. Start by raking to remove dead grass and leaves, allowing the soil to breathe and making space for fresh growth. Aerate your lawn, especially areas that have become compacted over winter, to improve root development and absorption of nutrients. Spring is also ideal for fertilizing to boost growth and for overseeding bare patches to achieve a uniform green carpet.

Summer presents its own challenges due to heat and increased foot traffic. To protect your lawn, raise the mower blades to cut grass taller, which provides shade for the roots and conserves moisture. Water deeply but infrequently, ideally early in the morning, to encourage deep root growth and prevent diseases. It is also a good time to stay on top of weed control, as weeds compete for the same nutrients your grass needs to thrive.

As fall approaches, your focus should shift to preparing your lawn for winter dormancy. Begin with dethatching to remove the layer of dead grass that can prevent water and nutrients from reaching the roots. Fall is also the perfect time for core aeration, which opens the soil to allow nutrients to penetrate deeply. Apply a high-potassium fertilizer to strengthen the grass and roots in preparation for winter. Additionally, overseeding in early fall when the soil is still warm can help thicken your lawn and minimize weeds next spring.

Winter may seem like a time to relax your lawn care routine, but vigilance is key during these colder months. Limit foot traffic to prevent soil compaction and consider applying a winterizer fertilizer that bolsters your lawn’s health. Avoid the use of salt for ice control, which can damage grass roots. Instead, opt for more lawn-friendly deicing solutions. Also, keep an eye on the development of mold in cases of heavy snow coverage, which can lead to damage that’s visible come spring.
