BLOG Four-Season Lawn Care: Ensuring a Lush Landscape All Year with Lamb's Expert Tips Nov 08, 2025

As the seasons change, so does the care your lawn requires to stay healthy and vibrant. At Lamb's Lawn Service & Landscaping, we understand the importance of year-round care for maintaining a lush, beautiful lawn. Each season presents unique challenges and opportunities for your landscape. In this guide, we'll share expert tips to ensure your lawn thrives throughout the year.

Spring ushers in a period of growth and renewal, making it the ideal time to prepare your lawn for the rest of the year. Start by clearing away winter debris such as leaves and twigs, which can prevent sunlight from reaching the grass. Aerating the soil is crucial in spring, as it loosens compaction and allows for better water and nutrient absorption. Be sure to apply a balanced fertilizer to give your grass the necessary nutrients as it begins to grow. Regular mowing is also essential during this time. Set your mower blade higher initially to avoid stressing the new growth.

As spring brings ample moisture, summer often presents the challenge of heat and drought. To keep your lawn resilient against these conditions, watering deeply but infrequently encourages deep root growth. Ideally, water your lawn early in the morning to minimize evaporation and fungal diseases. Summer is also a time for regular maintenance; continue mowing but adjust the height slightly higher to provide shade and protection for the soil. This helps reduce water evaporation and heat stress. Be on the lookout for pests and wear patterns; applying appropriate treatments can mitigate damage and keep your lawn green.

Fall is a critical time for lawn care, often misunderstood due to its association with the growing season's end. However, fall is actually an opportunity for strengthening your lawn ahead of winter. Begin by raking fallen leaves promptly. Leaves can block sunlight and trap moisture, leading to mold. Fall is also the season to overseed thin areas of your lawn. This encourages new growth and helps fill in bare spots. Fertilizing in fall prepares your grass for winter, ensuring the roots are healthy and ready to spring back in the coming year.

Winter may seem like downtime for your lawn, but preparation is key. Before the first frost, give your lawn a thorough final mow. This prevents the grass from matting under snowfall, which can lead to disease. It's also a good time to clean and sharpen your lawn equipment, preparing for the coming year without delays. Try to keep foot traffic to a minimum on frosty or dormant lawns to avoid damage. Additionally, monitoring moisture levels is crucial; while your lawn needs less water, too much can lead to mold, so ensure proper drainage.
