There’s nothing like a fresh, green lawn to welcome the spring season. As temperatures rise and days get longer in the Upstate, your yard is ready to bounce back from the chill of winter. But without the right spring care, your lawn could struggle to thrive. Now is the best time to give your grass a head start with a few simple yet powerful steps.

Start by dethatching and aerating your lawn. Winter can leave behind compacted soil and thatch build-up, which prevents nutrients and water from reaching the roots. A quick rake or mechanical dethatcher will loosen the surface, and aeration ensures deeper soil penetration. This small step makes a huge difference in encouraging growth and healthy turf development.

Next, apply a balanced spring fertilizer to feed your lawn the nutrients it craves after months of dormancy. Look for a slow-release formula rich in nitrogen, which promotes lush, green growth. Be mindful not to over-fertilize—it’s about steady nourishment, not overload. Pair this with consistent watering, especially after warm, dry days, and your lawn will start to flourish.

Finish with a clean edge and a strategic mowing plan. Trimming borders and walkways adds instant polish to your yard, while mowing regularly—without cutting too short—encourages thicker growth. Spring is a season of renewal, and with just a few thoughtful actions, you can transform your lawn into a vibrant, welcoming space the whole neighborhood admires.
