Spring is here, and it’s the perfect time to get your lawn looking its best. At Walsh Lawn and Landscape, we’re helping homeowners in Olney, Derwood, Rockville, Gaithersburg, Jefferson, and Middletown get their yards ready for a season of growth and beauty.
1. Check Your Soil
Winter can compact soil, making it harder for roots to grow. Aerating—even just a little—lets air, water, and nutrients reach your grass. Small lawns? Manual aerators work. Larger properties? That’s where our team can step in with professional equipment.
2. Overseed Bare Spots
Thicken your lawn and reduce weeds by overseeding. Pick grass seeds suited for your area, spread them evenly, and keep them lightly watered until they sprout.
3. Fertilize Smartly
Early spring is the right time for slow-release fertilizer. It boosts growth without stressing young grass. A quick soil test can help customize exactly what your lawn needs.
4. Watch for Weeds & Pests
Prevent weeds like crabgrass before they appear with pre-emergent treatments. Keep an eye on pests too—sometimes early attention prevents bigger problems later.
5. Mow & Water Correctly
Start mowing once the grass reaches about 3 inches. Don’t cut too short—it strengthens roots and helps your lawn survive hot summer days. Water moderately, ideally in the early morning, to help roots soak in moisture without disease risks.
Early spring care sets your lawn up for success all season long. Whether you want to handle it yourself or let Walsh Lawn and Landscape take care of it, consistent attention pays off.
