Spring Lawn Care: Fix An Ugly Lawn In One Year - Everything You Need To Know

Getting your lawn off to a quick start in the Spring is a very important step in having a great looking lawn in the Summer and in the Fall. Many of the early Spring lawn care chores can improve the health of your grass plant systems, improve the soil structure of your lawn, and properly defend your grass from weed infestation, fungal diseases, drought and heat stress, and thinning throughout the year.

In this video I have put it all out there; everything that you can and should do to your lawn along with general timing information for various parts of the country. Despite the fact that this video is huge and covers so many topics in detail there is however far more information left out of this video than there is included.

For each topic discussed in this video I have full videos on this channel going into greater depth which I think you will find very helpful; especially since each lawn chore is done for the most part one at a time throughout the late Winter and Spring season.

► ► I have published a full written version of this video over on my website. If you like skimming and jumping back and forth through the material then this article should be handy: https://turfmechanic.com/spring-lawn-... ◄ ◄
