Why This Matters
Each season has specific tasks. Proper seasonal care prevents pest problems and protects your foundation.
What You Should Do
Spring: Dethatch and aerate, apply pre-emergent, begin mowing at 3 inches.
Summer: Water deeply (1 inch/week), mow high (3-4 inches), watch for pests.
Fall: Aerate and overseed, apply fertilizer, rake leaves, winterize irrigation.
Winter: Avoid walking on frozen grass, prune dormant trees.
Keep plants 1+ foot from siding.
When to Call a Professional
If you have large trees near your home, have an arborist inspect annually for dead limbs, disease, or structural issues. A falling branch can cause catastrophic damage.
