Post-Winter Pick-Me-Up for Your Lawn

We're right there with you when it comes to dreaming for spring. The Northeast winter has been long, cold and hard and we're positive your front yard feels no different than we do. 

Give your greens a little post-winter pick-me-up with these few landscaping tips from networx:

Aerate and dethatch you lawn. This promotes oxygen penetration and healthy growth. Reseeding or repair of turf may also be needed in bald spots. 

Remove injured bark form trees. Use a sterile knife to cut off bark that has been damaged from sunscald and frost cracking. Leave the wound open and exposed to air for quick healing. 

Care for plants. Other than renewing your mulch every year or two there are a few things you can do to your garden directly when the weather begins to warm. First, apply gypsum to remove excess salt from frost damage and trim brown or spongy parts from perennials. 

Mend fencing and other hardscape. Nature is not the only thing that takes a beating through the harsh of winter. For help with missing posts, rust, or other fencing repair needs, give our experts at Fence Factory of CT and NY a call.
