Go for green grass and bright blooms.
"A couple of shots of nitrogen-based fertilizer in the spring can really help with the green color and growth of your lawn," DeBoer explains."Additionally, consider a foliar application of a liquid iron-based product for a deep, lush green. If company is coming over in the spring, aim to make this application no more than 72 hours prior to guests arriving. Your lawn's response to the iron will typically be quick and potentially short-lived.
Experts also recommend determining the exact type of grass you have before choosing the right fertilizer for your lawn.DeBoer also recommends"low mowing to jump-start the season." Think of it like a haircut—removing the top layer is essential to promote new growth. According to Cox, this can be one of your final steps.
How you go about mowing will depend on whether you have a cool-season lawn or a warm-season lawn. Cool-season grasses are green by mid-spring and stay active through the, according to High Country Gardens. Warm-season grasses love sun—they won't green up until late spring and will"go dormant" by early to mid-fall. A lawn care specialist can help determine which kind you have, if you're not sure.
"Warm-season lawn owners, whose lawns have gone completely dormant during the winter, can drop their mower deck pretty low and remove all of the brown, deceased top growth to open up the canopy for new growth," DeBoer says."This will also allow more sunlight to hit the soil surface, which can hasten the spring green-up of the lawn by increasing soil temperatures."
Cool-season lawn owners don't have to be"as aggressive," he explains."But a couple of mowings lower than you typically mow during the summer can help remove any dank, old growth in the canopy and prepare it for fresh top growth."
