At Sunrise Lawn Care & Weed Control, we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy and beautiful lawn throughout the year. To help you achieve the lawn of your dreams, we have created a year-round lawn care schedule that outlines the tasks and treatments needed each month to keep your lawn looking its best. Follow our month-by-month plan to ensure your lawn stays green, lush, and weed-free all year long!
January: While your lawn may be covered in snow during January, this is a great time to plan for the upcoming months. Schedule a soil test to determine any nutrient deficiencies and create a fertilization plan for the spring. Trim back any overhanging branches or shrubs that may be blocking sunlight from reaching your lawn.
February: As winter starts to fade away, it's time to start preparing your lawn for the growing season. Begin by cleaning up any debris that has accumulated over the winter months. Apply a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent weeds from germinating, and aerate your lawn to improve soil compaction and promote healthy root growth.
March: With the arrival of spring, it's time to kick start your lawn's growth. Begin mowing your lawn regularly and adjust the height of your mower blades to the proper setting. Apply a slow-release fertilizer to provide your lawn with the nutrients it needs to thrive. Keep an eye out for early signs of weeds and treat them promptly.
April: As the weather continues to warm up, your lawn will start to grow more rapidly. Continue mowing regularly and be sure to water your lawn deeply once or twice a week, depending on rainfall. Spot treat any weeds that may have popped up and consider overseeding any thin or bare patches.
May: By May, your lawn should be lush and green, but that doesn't mean the work is done. Keep up with mowing and watering, and consider applying a post-emergent herbicide to target any persistent weeds. Monitor your lawn for signs of pests or diseases and address them promptly.
June: As the heat of summer sets in, it's important to adjust your lawn care routine accordingly. Water your lawn deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Consider dethatching your lawn to remove any built-up organic matter. Keep an eye out for signs of stress, such as wilting or discoloration, and adjust your watering schedule as needed.
July: With the summer heat in full force, it's important to take extra precautions to keep your lawn healthy. Avoid mowing during the hottest part of the day and be sure to water your lawn early in the morning. Consider applying a summer fertilizer to provide your lawn with the nutrients it needs to withstand the heat.
August: As summer starts to wind down, it's time to start preparing your lawn for the fall. Begin by overseeding any thin or bare patches to promote a thick and healthy lawn. Apply a fall fertilizer to prepare your lawn for the coming months and continue monitoring for pests and diseases.
September: With the arrival of fall, your lawn will start to slow its growth. Continue mowing as needed and gradually reduce the frequency of watering as the weather cools down. Aerate your lawn to improve soil compaction and overseed any thin or bare patches to promote new growth.
October: As the leaves start to fall, it's important to keep up with your lawn care routine. Continue mowing until the grass stops growing and be sure to clear away any fallen leaves or debris. Apply a winter fertilizer to help your lawn survive the colder months and consider applying a broadleaf herbicide to target any persistent weeds.
November: As winter approaches, it's time to start preparing your lawn for the dormant season. Clear away any remaining leaves or debris and continue mowing until the grass stops growing. Consider applying a winterizing fertilizer to provide your lawn with the nutrients it needs to survive the winter.
December: While your lawn may be covered in snow during December, there are still steps you can take to ensure its health and beauty. Avoid walking on your lawn when it's frosty or snowy, as this can damage the grass. Be sure to keep an eye out for signs of pests or diseases and address them promptly.
