March lawn care tips

Your monthly guide to lawn care

As March brings the first signs of spring, it’s time to wake up your garden from its winter rest. Here’s a simple guide to essential lawn care in March. From clearing winter debris to starting your first mow, let’s get your lawn looking great.

Rake up any remaining leaves

Before spring fully kicks in, clear away any leftover leaves and debris from winter. Use a rake to remove these, or a combination blower and vacuum to make it easier. This helps your lawn start fresh and prevents any blockages to new growth.

Start mowing

March is the time to bring out the lawnmower. Start with a high cut, taking off no more than one-third of the grass height. This gentle trim encourages healthy growth and gets your lawn ready for the season. Keep mowing regularly to maintain its condition.

Remove moss and weeds

With warmer weather, moss and weeds might start to appear. Get rid of moss and deal with weeds quickly to keep your lawn healthy. Use the right products or remove them by hand to make sure your grass can grow without competition.

Edge the lawn

Give your lawn a neat edge by trimming along paths, flower beds, and borders. This keeps grass from spreading into unwanted areas and gives your garden a clean, tidy look.

With these simple tips, your lawn can thrive as spring approaches. Clearing debris, mowing properly, tackling weeds, and edging your lawn will set the stage for a beautiful garden. Enjoy the start of spring with a well-cared-for lawn!
