This is our guide to spring lawn work for an efficient and effective spring lawn cleanup. Thinking it is all too much? Contact us for the services that you simply can’t manage. But first, read on to learn what should be done this spring State College gardening season. 

Spring Lawn Care Essentials:

1. Raking and De-Thatching

DIY: Begin by raking your lawn to remove leaves, twigs, and debris accumulated over the winter. De-thatching, the process of removing excess thatch, helps promote airflow and water absorption. 

Professional Help: If your lawn has a significant thatch buildup, State College Lawn Care offers professional de-thatching services to restore your lawn's health and vitality.

2. Aeration

DIY: Aerating your lawn allows oxygen, water, and nutrients to penetrate the soil, promoting robust root growth. Renting a core aerator or using spike aerating shoes are common DIY methods. 

Professional Help: For larger properties or compacted soils, consider hiring State College Lawn Care for professional aeration services. Their expertise ensures thorough and effective aeration, revitalizing your lawn from the roots up.

3. Fertilization

DIY: Applying a spring fertilizer feeds your lawn essential nutrients for healthy growth and vibrant color. Choose a slow-release fertilizer to provide long-lasting nourishment. 

Professional Help: State College Lawn Care offers customized fertilization programs tailored to your lawn's specific needs. Their professional-grade fertilizers and precise application techniques promote optimal growth and resilience.

4. Weed Control

DIY: Spring is an ideal time to tackle emerging weeds before they establish a foothold. Hand-pulling or spot-treating with herbicides can help keep weeds at bay. 

Professional Help: Persistent or widespread weed infestations may require professional intervention. State College Lawn Care offers comprehensive weed control services to manage weeds and restore your lawn’s health effectively.
