Seasonal Lawn Care Tips

SPRING

March - May

The Wake-Up Call & Pre-Emergent Battle

Spring is all about setting the stage for a strong growing season. This is the key time to apply pre-emergent weed control, targeting summer weeds like crabgrass before they can take root. Both Fescue and Bermuda lawns benefit from this early protection. We pair that with a nutrient-rich feeding to jumpstart Bermuda’s early growth and support healthy Fescue recovery from winter stress. Consistent care and balanced fertilization this time of year set the foundation for a thick, healthy lawn all summer long.

SUMMER

June - August

Survival Mode and Fungal Defense

Summer is prime growth time for Warm-Season Bermuda in the Triangle! Maintain a low mowing height (2-3 inches) and consistent moisture to support its aggressive growth. We provide the specific summer-blend fertilization required to maximize its thickness and color. For Cool-Season Fescue, summer is about survival: keep the mowing height high (4 inches) and prioritize early morning watering to manage moisture and prevent humidity-driven fungal diseases like Brown Patch.

WINTER

December - February

Protection and Next Season Prep

While growth slows, the Fescue root systems remain active. The primary task is cleanup: remove all fallen leaves and heavy debris immediately to prevent the grass from smothering and breeding disease. Avoid walking on the lawn when it is frozen or covered in heavy frost, as this instantly damages the blades. A final, light nitrogen feeding in late February helps stimulate early root development, setting the stage for a thick, vibrant green start to the next spring.

FALL

September - November

The Renovation Season and Root Building

Fall is the single most vital time for your lawn. We recommend the "Big Three" steps: core aeration to break up compacted clay soil, immediate overseeding to fill in patches, and the heaviest fertilizer application of the year. This aggressive feeding allows the grass to recover from summer stress and build robust roots to survive the coming winter. We also apply broadleaf herbicides to eliminate any persistent cool-season weeds.

Most Common Lawn Issues in Apex, NC

Spoiler alert: It usually involves that heavy North Carolina clay.

 

SUMMER WEEDSWarm-season weeds like crabgrass and spurge thrive in Apex’s clay soil and humid summers. Pre- and post-emergent treatments keep them from taking over thin turf.

LAWN DISEASEBrown patch and dollar spot spread quickly during hot, humid weather. Preventive fungicide applications and smart watering help protect Apex lawns through summer.

ACIDIC SOILApex’s red clay soil often turns acidic, limiting nutrient uptake. Regular lime treatments and aeration restore balance and strengthen grass roots.
