🌿 The Ultimate Seasonal Lawn Care Guide for Homeowners
A vibrant, healthy lawn is one of the best ways to elevate your home’s curb appeal, but it doesn’t happen by chance. Lush grass and well-kept landscaping are the results of consistent care, timed with the natural seasons. Each time of year calls for different tasks that help your lawn thrive through heat, cold, storms, and stress.
Whether you enjoy maintaining your yard yourself or prefer to leave it to professionals, understanding what your lawn needs throughout the year is the key to success. This guide will walk you through the best steps to take in every season and how the right local pros can make it effortless.
🌱 Spring — Prepare Your Lawn for Growth
Spring is your lawn’s wake-up call. As temperatures warm, your grass shifts from dormancy to active growth. This is the ideal time to clean up, nourish the soil, and jumpstart healthy growth.
Begin with a thorough cleanup to remove sticks, leaves, and debris left from winter storms.
Soil health is the foundation of a beautiful lawn. Partner with Corona Greens to apply a spring fertilizer treatment, begin weed control early, and perform core aeration to loosen compacted soil. This lets water and nutrients reach the root zone where they’re most effective.
Finish by mowing lightly as your lawn begins growing, gradually lowering the mower blade over the season to train the grass to grow thicker.
☀️ Summer: Maintain and Protect
Summer can be the most stressful season for your lawn. Heat, sun, foot traffic, and even pets can take a toll on grass health. Your focus now is maintaining consistent growth while preventing stress.
Stick to a steady mowing schedule, but avoid cutting more than one-third of the grass blade height at a time. This keeps roots strong and helps the lawn hold moisture. Water deeply and less often to encourage deep root growth. Always water in the early morning to prevent evaporation and discourage fungal damage.
Professional help can save you a ton of time and stress here. Corona Lawns offers ongoing mowing, edging, and trimming to keep your yard looking clean and polished through the hottest months, so you can spend more time enjoying your outdoor space.
🍂 Fall — Repair and Rebuild
Fall is the most crucial season for long-term lawn health. As temperatures cool, grass roots shift energy from top growth to below-ground development, making it the perfect time to strengthen your lawn for winter.
It’s also a smart time to book soil testing and pre-season treatments with Corona Greens to get ahead of the busy spring rush. We also recommend starting our Corona Green Lawn services in the Fall so we’re able to treat the lawn early for weed control.
Corona Greens specializes in fall lawn care treatments, from aeration to balanced fertilization. Meanwhile, Corona Lawns can handle the leaf cleanup and final mowings to leave your property looking tidy going into the colder months.
❄️ Winter: Plan Ahead
While your lawn may look dormant, winter is the best time to plan new projects. Because the grass is resting, you won’t disturb active growth while you plan landscaping updates or install new features.
Use this time to schedule a consultation with Corona Lawns. Whether you’re considering sod installation or flowerbed overhauls, booking early means you’ll be first on the schedule.
