Spring in the Pacific Northwest is a magical time for your lawn and garden. As temperatures warm up and the rain becomes more intermittent, it's the perfect opportunity to set your yard up for a lush, green growing season.
Start by raking up any debris, leaves, and dead grass that accumulated over winter. This allows sunlight and air to reach the soil, promoting healthy new growth. If you notice bare patches, early spring is the ideal time to overseed with a grass variety suited to our Pacific Northwest climate.
Aeration is crucial after the wet winter months. Compacted soil prevents water, air, and nutrients from reaching grass roots. We recommend core aeration, which removes small plugs of soil and creates channels for better root development.
Apply a slow-release fertilizer once soil temperatures consistently reach 55°F. In our region, this typically happens in mid-to-late April. Avoid fertilizing too early, as the grass isn't actively growing yet and the nutrients may wash away in spring rains.
