Is Your Lawn Ready for Spring?
Is Your Lawn Ready for Spring?

Here’s what to do now!

Spring is right around the corner. What you do in late February and early March will directly impact how your lawn looks through the entire growing season! This is the window where proactive homeowners get ahead — and where professional service makes the biggest difference

Here’s how Evergreen Lawn & Landscape prepares lawns for a strong, healthy start.

1. Apply Pre-Emergent Weed Control Before Weeds Appear

By the time you see crabgrass and other weeds, it’s already too late to prevent them.

Evergreen applies professional-grade pre-emergent treatments at the proper soil temperature — not just based on the calendar. This prevents weeds before they germinate, protecting your lawn without stressing the turf.

This is one of the most important services of the entire year.

2. Early Season Fertilization for Healthy Growth

After winter, your lawn needs balanced nutrients to wake up properly.

Evergreen’s fertilization programs are designed to:

  • Promote deep root development
  • Improve color and thickness
  • Strengthen turf before summer heat arrives

Proper timing and application rates matter. Over-application can cause damage. Under-application produces weak results. Their experience ensures your lawn gets exactly what it needs.

3. Core Aeration to Relieve Soil Compaction

If your lawn struggled last year, compacted soil may be the reason.

Core aeration:

  • Improves air and water flow
  • Encourages deeper root growth
  • Enhances fertilizer effectiveness

Scheduling aeration early in the season allows your lawn to respond quickly once growth begins.

4. Start the Season with a Proper Irrigation Inspection

A healthy lawn depends on consistent, efficient watering, especially as temperatures begin to rise.

Early spring is the ideal time to inspect and prepare your irrigation system before peak demand begins. Small issues now can lead to uneven growth, water waste, or plant stress later in the season.

A professional irrigation check ensures:

  • Proper zone coverage and spray alignment
  • Detection of leaks, broken heads, or pressure issues
  • Correct controller programming for seasonal conditions
  • Efficient water usage to support healthy root development

Evergreen’s team evaluates your system to ensure it’s operating efficiently and delivering the right amount of water at the right time. A properly functioning irrigation system protects your lawn investment and supports every other service throughout the growing season.

5. Lock In Your Full-Service Lawn Care Program

Spring fills up quickly. Waiting often means limited scheduling options.

Evergreen Lawn & Landscape offers comprehensive lawn care programs that include:

  • Fertilization
  • Weed control
  • Aeration
  • Irrigation 
  • Ongoing maintenance

With over 40 years in business, their team understands how to build a lawn care plan that performs season after season.

Get Ahead of the Growing Season

The difference between an average lawn and a standout lawn often comes down to early action.

If you want thick, green, weed-free turf this year, now is the time to schedule your spring services with Evergreen Lawn & Landscape.

April is when grass begins actively growing again, roots start absorbing nutrients, and your yard prepares for the busy growing season ahead.But just like us in the morning, lawns can struggle to fully “wake up” if they don’t get the right start. When spring lawn care is delayed, weeds move in, growth becomes patchy, and your turf never quite reaches its full potential.
