The flowers are blooming, the leaves are forming, the birds are chirping—all signs of a beautiful spring. Long summer days spent relaxing and enjoying your beautiful, lush, green property are right around the corner. Are you ready?
Spring lawn care is not time-consuming, but it is necessary in order to get your grass ready for a healthy growing season.
Maintenance Tips for Spring Lawn Care in Pittsburgh

Clean Up
Remove any debris, dead leaves, twigs, branches, and stones that may have accumulated on your grass over the winter.
Rake Thoroughly
To remove any thatch or dead grass, give your lawn a deep, thorough raking. Dethatching will also reveal any dead spots that may need attention.
Seed Any Bare Spots
Overseed bare spots to rid your lawn of the unsightly patches. Be sure to wait until temperatures reach the 70s and the danger of frost has passed before planting warm-season grass. For newly seeded areas, water daily for at least a week.
Apply Fertilizer
Give your lawn a healthy start by applying fertilizer once active growth begins in mid to late spring.
Prevent Weed Growth
Weeds can be a problem to tame once they take control. Therefore, apply a pre-emergent herbicide in the spring to kill any weeds before they pop up on your lawn.
Prepare Your Mower
Make sure your lawnmower is in good working condition before summer’s heavy use. Since it is best to only mow once sufficient growth has occurred, spring is the perfect downtime to prep your mower—change the oil, air filter, and spark plug; sharpen the mower blade and fill the fuel tank.
