Blog Protecting Your Lawn Through Every Season: Essential Tips from Moore's Lawn and Home Improvement Apr 22, 2025

As the seasons change, so do the needs of your lawn and landscape. At Moore's Lawn and Home Improvement LLC, we understand that maintaining a lush, healthy lawn throughout the year can be a challenge, but with the right guidance and effort, it's completely achievable. Here, we provide essential tips to protect your lawn through every season, ensuring your outdoor space remains beautiful and thriving.

Spring marks the beginning of growth and renewal, making it the ideal time to prepare your lawn for the intense summer months. Start by performing a thorough clean-up. Remove debris, fallen branches, and leaves that may have accumulated over winter. Aerate your soil to improve air circulation and water absorption, fostering a robust root system. Fertilizing is critical in spring; choose a slow-release fertilizer to deliver nutrients consistently over time. Don't forget to reseed any bare patches to ensure a full, green lawn.

As we move into summer, lawn care requires diligent watering and mowing practices. Water your lawn in the early morning or late evening to minimize evaporation and maximize absorption. Adjust your mowing height to keep grass at an optimal length, generally around three inches, to promote shade and moisture retention. Regularly sharpening your mower blades will provide clean cuts, preventing damage and disease. Additionally, consider using organic mulch around flower beds and trees to retain soil moisture and protect roots from heat.

Autumn is the season of preparation, where your actions will set the tone for next year’s growth. Start by raking up fallen leaves; leaving them can smother your grass, encouraging fungus and disease. Fall is also a great time for aeration, providing your lawn with the last breath of fresh air before winter. Apply a fall-specific fertilizer to boost root development and strengthen your lawn for the months ahead. Lastly, overseed your grass to fill in thin areas and promote a denser carpet of green.

Winter doesn’t mean your lawn goes dormant; it simply requires less attention. However, taking the necessary steps before the cold sets in can prevent damage. Reduce foot traffic on frozen grass to avoid turf damage. It's beneficial to give your lawn one last mowing before the first frost. Keep your paths and driveways clear of snow and ice using eco-friendly products that won’t harm your grass. Inspect any hardscape elements such as walkways and patios for repairs that can be handled in milder conditions, ensuring safety and aesthetics come spring.
