Spring Lawn Care Tips for a Healthy, Vibrant Yard

Springtime is here, and with it comes the perfect opportunity to refresh your lawn after a long winter. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just looking to maintain a tidy outdoor space, these tips will help you make the most of spring lawn care in Central Ohio.

1. Clear Debris and Tidy Up

After months of cold and snow, your lawn is likely scattered with fallen branches, leaves, or other debris. Removing these promptly prevents mold, pests, and other issues from taking hold, while also giving you a clear view of any areas needing extra attention.

2. Check Your Soil

Healthy soil is key to a thriving lawn. If you notice thin or patchy spots, consider getting a soil test to determine nutrient levels and pH balance. This helps you choose the right fertilizer or soil amendments for optimal growth. Your local extension office or lawn care provider can often help with testing and recommendations.

3. Aerate for Better Airflow

Heavy foot traffic, snowpack, and ice can compact your soil over the winter. Aeration—poking small holes in the turf—loosens soil, enhances water penetration, and improves nutrient absorption. It’s an effective way to give your grass roots a much-needed boost early in the season.

4. Seed and Fertilize Wisely

Early spring is an excellent time to address thin spots or overseed an entire lawn if necessary. Choose high-quality, region-appropriate grass seed to ensure the best results in Central Ohio’s climate. Follow up with the right fertilizer blend to provide a steady supply of nutrients for strong root growth.

5. Mulch and Edge Beds

Flower beds and landscaping areas benefit greatly from a new layer of mulch come spring. Not only does mulch enhance curb appeal, it helps retain moisture, regulates soil temperature, and discourages weeds. Taking time to edge these beds offers a crisp, finished look that instantly upgrades your property’s appearance.

6. Plan for Regular Mowing & Total Lawn Care

Once the weather warms and grass starts growing consistently, maintaining a routine mowing schedule (usually once a week or every other week) helps keep your lawn neat and healthy. Avoid cutting the grass too short, as this can stress the turf and encourage weed growth.
