Yard Raking and Cleanup
Most lawns require a spring cleanup to remove debris. Raking up leaves and other organic materials will help ensure that your lawn gets the sunlight it needs to quickly green up and thrive. Use should use a leaf rake and not a hard garden rake to make sure you’re gentle as not to damage the turf. Note any lawn areas that can be compacted and may need to be aerated) or dethatched.
Fertilization
In the spring, you won’t necessarily have to fertilize your lawn, especially if you applied last fall fertilizer. But depending on what kind of fertilizer program you are on, spring may be a good time to test your soil to check the nutrient levels available. Cool-season grasses, once the grass is actively growing, can benefit from a light fertilizer application in spring. Note that a fertilizer also includes some pre-emergent weed control, so you don’t want to over-fertilize. It is best to fertilize in late spring for warm-season grasses as soon as the lawn greens up and grows actively.
Seeding
Cool seasonal grasses can be planted whenever the soil is not frozen and the soil is not too wet. Then the seed will start to germinate as the ground temperature rises above 50 degrees. The goal is to plant as soon as conditions allow the grass to be established as long as possible before the stress of summer heat on it. Fall is a better time to plant cool grasses..
You may find that if in a well-maintained condition your lawn went into the winter, it may not need all these steps to be ready for spring.
Weed Control
Applying a pre-emergent herbicide application in the spring can be very beneficial for your lawn. You will want want to use weed control as soon as the soil temperature is regularly over 55 degrees for control annual weeds such as crabgrass. If you are seeding your lawn, carefully select your herbicide as most will prevent grass seeds from germination.
