Spring Lawn Care Tips for Winnipeg Homeowners

Spring is the perfect time to give your lawn the attention it needs after a harsh Winnipeg winter. Here are our top tips for getting your lawn back in shape:

1. Clean Up Debris Start by removing any leaves, branches, and debris that accumulated over winter. This allows sunlight and air to reach the grass.

2. Aerate Your Lawn Winnipeg's heavy clay soil can become compacted. Aerating helps water, nutrients, and air penetrate deep into the root zone.

3. Overseed Bare Patches Spring is ideal for overseeding thin or bare areas. Choose grass varieties suited to our climate, like Kentucky bluegrass or fine fescue.

4. Fertilize Strategically Apply a slow-release fertilizer in late spring to give your lawn the nutrients it needs for healthy growth throughout the season.

5. Adjust Mowing Height Keep your mower set to 2.5-3 inches. Taller grass shades the soil, reducing weed growth and helping retain moisture.
