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.

SUMMER WEEDS

Weeds like crabgrass, spurge, and nutsedge thrive in Wake Forest’s summer heat. Targeted pre- and post-emergent weed control keeps your lawn clear and uniform.

LAWN DISEASE

Moisture and shade in Wake Forest neighborhoods can encourage brown patch and dollar spot. Preventive fungicide treatments and smart watering routines keep your turf healthy.

COMPACTED SOIL

Dense soil reduces oxygen and water flow to the roots. Core and liquid aeration loosen the ground, helping grass grow thicker and stronger.
