With spring and warm weather in the air, it’s time to start thinking about your spring landscaping maintenance. Cool-weather grass is a type of grass that thrives in cold freezing winters and hot summers. Cool-season grasses are in New England, Upper Midwest, High Plains, and Northern California up to the Pacific Northwest. This grass thrives when temperatures are between 65-80 degrees, which is typical during the spring and fall months.
Preparing Your Cool Weather Grass for the Season
Maintaining your cool-weather grass in the winter months is essential to prepare for the warmer months. However, during the month of March, you should overseed thin spots early if you missed them in the fall, power rake, or mow to remove excess old-growth and have your soil treated. Spring fertilization is essential during the month of April along with mowing, removing excessive heavy diseased clippings, and aerating if thatch is heavy or soil is compact.
