Every spring, we say farewell to winter by deep-cleaning our homes, allowing the stale air out, and welcoming the fresh air. When it comes to lawn care in Winnipeg, getting it prepared for spring is just as essential. Following these simple steps in early spring will help your lawn begin the year off in the right direction.

Clean-Up The Landscaping
Harsh weather of winter can leave the landscaping littered with limbs and mounds of mushy rubbish. Cleaning up these winter messes won’t just make the landscaping look better but will even get rid of hiding spots for unnecessary insects. Matted clumps of heavy wet leaves can even stop much required nutrients from getting to the roots of the plants for appropriate absorption.

Clean-Up The Lawn
As the snow melts away, unmaintained debris in the lawn is exposed. Whether it be clumps of late fallen leaves or pet messes that have built up over the winter, these can exploit the growth of grass underneath. Getting rid of debris in the spring can help improve the appearance of the lawn as it comes out of dormancy and promotes healthy growth.

Equipment Maintenance
For the best lawn care in Winnipeg, you need to maintain equipment as well. There’s nothing more annoying than heading out to cut the lawn to find out that the mower will not start. The experts at The Sodfather recommend having the lawn equipment serviced every spring prior to the beginning of the mowing season. No matter if you’ve got a push mower or a riding lawn mower, proper maintenance is essential to the prolonged existence of the mower and the quality of its cut.

Don’t Bag the Clippings
Grass clippings are a good source of nutrients for the lawn. The nutrients will discharge into the soil as the lifeless grass clippings break down at the end of the day. Clumping can be caused by mowing when the lawn is wet, poor mower maintenance, or if you’ve got long periods of time between mowing.
