Spring Lawn Prep: Your Guide to Success
As the seasons shift, it’s time to focus on getting your lawn ready for a magnificent transformation. At Sharp Lawns, we are committed to sharing effective tips and techniques that will help you prepare your outdoor space for the upcoming season. We are here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s work together to create a healthy, thriving lawn that you can enjoy for years to come.
Wake Up Your Soil
Following the winter season, soil often exhibits a significant need for essential nutrients. Early application of fertilizer provides critical elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, thereby supporting the growth of grass and plants as they prepare for a robust resurgence with the warming weather.
Strong Roots = Strong Growth
Implementing spring treatments is essential for developing strong root systems prior to the onset of summer heat. Healthy root systems facilitate improved water absorption, enhance drought resistance, and contribute to a thicker, greener lawn.
Weed & Pest Prevention
Implementing early weed and pest management strategies may involve the use of pre-emergent herbicides to prevent weed establishment and the application of deterrents to manage pest populations. Taking proactive measures at this stage can significantly reduce the time and effort required for subsequent interventions.
Harness Spring Momentum
March marks the beginning of the natural awakening of your lawn. Applying a timely fertilizer boost promotes uniform and vibrant growth, establishing a strong foundation for a distinguished yard throughout the entire season.

Pro Tip to Keeping Your Lawn Sharp: Watering
Following treatment, it is advisable to lightly water your lawn to facilitate the settling of nutrients. However, please exercise caution to avoid excessive watering, as natural spring rains can provide adequate moisture.
