People make the mistake of thinking that no special care needs to be given. But there are some simple things you can do that will help you to enjoy a lush and thriving lawn when spring arrives.
Even if you are not expecting much in the way of snowfall, it is still important to be sure that the grass isn't left under piles of leaves or other rubbish that can interfere with the grass receiving proper moisture, nutrients and air.
While the growth of grass often comes to a halt in the late fall, it can still die if it is buried under any kind of yard debris.
Winter grasses, such as rye, do best when they are planted in mid to late October. And, even though it might be chilly outdoors, you should still water your winter lawns if the weather is dry.
Rye grass will thrive best with one to two inches of water each week. These simple lawn care tips should result in a lawn that really stands out when spring arrives.
