Blog Year-Round Lawn Care Guide: Keeping Your Yard Pristine with From the Ground Up Sep 19, 2025

As the seasons change, your lawn care needs require attention throughout the year to maintain a lush and pristine yard. From the Ground Up Landscaping & Lawncare offers expert advice to keep your lawn healthy and vibrant every month. This year-round lawn care guide will highlight essential tasks and tips for each season, ensuring that your yard remains a source of pride and enjoyment.

Begin your lawn care routine in spring, a time for rejuvenation and preparation. As the ground thaws, it’s essential to clear away debris such as leaves and twigs to allow your lawn to breathe. This is also the perfect time to aerate the soil. Aeration improves oxygen, water, and nutrient flow, making your lawn healthier and more resilient. Seeding is crucial during spring, as it fills in bare patches and establishes a thick, dense turf. At From the Ground Up Landscaping & Lawncare, we recommend using a high-quality grass seed that suits your climate and soil type.

During summer, your lawn faces the challenge of heat stress and increased foot traffic. To combat this, we suggest adjusting your mower to a higher setting. Longer grass shades the soil, reduces evaporation, and helps weed control. Watering is critical in summer, and it's best to water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Water your lawn early in the morning to minimize evaporation and mildew. Remember, a healthy lawn needs about one inch of water per week. Our professional lawn care services can create a tailored irrigation plan to meet your yard's specific needs.

Fall is a season of balance, where maintenance and preparation for the coming winter are crucial. Rake and remove fallen leaves regularly to prevent them from suffocating your grass. This is also an ideal time for fertilization. A slow-release fertilizer provides essential nutrients to strengthen your lawn’s roots for the winter months. Overseeding in fall further enhances lawn density and combats weeds. Additionally, it’s time to address lingering issues like pest problems. At From the Ground Up, our team can help identify and treat pest issues naturally and effectively.

Winter doesn’t mean ignoring your lawn completely. Although growth slows down, this is an opportune time to focus on lawn equipment maintenance. Sharpen mower blades, clean seed spreaders, and inspect all tools for damage. Consider applying a winter fertilizer that's high in potassium to help your lawn withstand harsh conditions. Protect sensitive areas from salt damage and foot traffic, which can create compacted soil and bare areas as spring approaches.

Maintaining a pristine lawn year-round requires time, effort, and expertise. From the Ground Up Landscaping & Lawncare is here to guide you at every step.
