Top 5 Wintertime Lawncare Tips
Top 5 Wintertime Lawncare Tips
1. Plan ahead for springtime to be equipped to handle your lawncare needs.
Reflect back on any problems that came up over the course of the last mowing season and plan to attack those with solutions. Having adequate equipment for your specific lawncare needs will limit current and new problems to arise. Reach out to your nearest Great Plains store to identify what equipment will meet your needs.
2. Service your lawncare equipment.
Get ahead of the springtime rush and bring in your lawncare equipment to be serviced. Our wintertime service specials are valid until March 15th. These specials include replacing blades, oil changes, replacing filters, and much more. Prices vary depending on lawn mower models.
3. Clear your lawn of excessive leaf coverage and debris.
A thick coverage of leaves or debris can be detrimental to your overall lawn health as these block sunlight and oxygen from reaching your lawn. This can prevent grass growth for the upcoming spring season. Great Plains has just the right tool to get your lawn in top shape whether that be a blower, chainsaw, or trimmer.
4. Avoid and prevent lawn damage from salt.
Winter weather is on its way and with the freezing temps comes the usage of ice melts. Although these salts are vital for clearing roads and walkways, they have the potential to cause future problems for your lawn. As the temperatures increase, watering the areas where melts have been placed can help dilute the salt concentrations.
5. Make adjustments to lawncare irrigation.
A common mistake homeowners make is continuing the same irrigation cycles that they utilize during peak months or bring a halt to watering their lawns completely. Lessening the water usage for your lawn is generally best practice for overall grass health.
