SPRING

Mowing

Keep your lawn between 2–4 inches in height with a rotary mower that has a sharpened blade. Never remove more than ⅓ of the leaf blade.

Weed Control

Apply a pre-emergent herbicide when soil temperatures reach 55 degrees Fahrenheit. This will prevent summer annual weeds like crabgrass and goosegrass from plaguing your lawn and garden.

Insect Control

Apply a broad-spectrum insecticide to prevent spring insects from appearing or to control any current spring insects like chinch bugs or white grubs.
