How to Care for Your Lawn in the Winter

When the temperature drops and the grass appears dormant, it’s easy to think your lawn no longer needs attention. In reality, proper care during the colder months can make all the difference in how your lawn looks come spring. Whether you handle it yourself or hire a professional lawn care service, here’s how to protect and prepare your lawn in winter.

Keep It Clear

One of the simplest ways to protect your lawn in winter is by keeping it free of debris. Leaves, branches, and other lawn clutter can smother the grass and create damp conditions that invite disease and pests. Regularly raking and removing debris allows your lawn to breathe and prevents damage that can carry into spring.

Limit Foot Traffic

Your lawn is more fragile during the winter months. Try to keep people, pets, and heavy equipment off the grass as much as possible. Consistent foot traffic can compact the soil and damage dormant grass, leading to thin or bare spots in spring.

Fertilize for Strong Roots

Winter is the perfect time for a final round of fertilization. Adding nutrients before consistent frosts gives your lawn the boost it needs to strengthen its roots and store energy for the next growing season. Partnering with a professional lawn care service ensures the right products and timing for your specific grass type and soil conditions.
