Winter Lawn Care Tips for a Healthy Lawn


End of Winter Lawn Care

Rochester winters can be tough, but your lawn doesn’t have to suffer. Taking a few easy steps now for winter lawn care can help your grass grow back green and healthy when spring arrives. Grass is strong, and with a little help, it will bounce back in no time.

Here are seven simple tips to care for your lawn this winter and get it ready for spring.

Our Winter Lawn Care Tips

By following these winter lawn care tips, you can ensure a great-looking and healthy lawn come spring.


1. Keep Your Yard Clear

Before winter, clean up your yard. Rake leaves and put away hoses, toys, and decorations. Leaving things on the grass can flatten it and create spots for pests or mold to grow under the snow.


2. Protect Your Lawn in Late Winter

Don’t pile snow on your grass or let people walk on it too much. This can damage the grass and make it harder for it to grow in spring. Spread out any snow piles so they melt faster and let sunlight reach the grass sooner.


3. Rake in Early Spring

When the snow melts, your lawn might look rough. Lightly rake the grass to clear dead leaves and let the soil breathe. Wait until the ground is dry so you don’t damage the grass while cleaning it up.


4. Aerate Your Lawn

Aerating pokes small holes in the soil, letting air, water, and nutrients reach the roots. This helps the grass grow stronger after winter. Spring is a great time to do this.


5. Seed Bare Spots

Spread grass seed over thin or bare areas in your lawn to fill them in. Spring is fine for seeding, but be sure to water often to help the new grass grow.


6. Feed Your Lawn in Spring

Once the snow is gone and temperatures hit around 55°F, use lawn fertilizer to give your grass the nutrients it needs to grow. Fertilizing after aerating helps your lawn recover faster.


7. Mow Early

Your grass might be ready for its first cut in April. Mow when the grass is about 3 inches tall to keep it healthy and encourage new growth.
