    • Fertilizer- Early spring fertilizer is essential to give your lawn the nutrients that it needs to be healthy and grow properly. For more information on fertilizer products, check out this article.
    • Aeration- Aeration helps break up the soil in your yard and is very important, because it relieves the compressed soil and allows for stronger root growth. In addition, it also dethatches you lawn in a safe manner and creates pockets to deliver food and water directly to roots.
    • Crabgrass pre-emergent- Crabgrass is a very common problem in lawns everywhere. Using pre-emergent, or otherwise known as Crabgrass Preventer, is a common tool used by many homeowners. Just make sure not to get it too close to your other plants and seed your lawn afterwards, because this is a non-selective pesticide that prevents not only crabgrass seeds from germinating, but turf grass seeds as well. It is essential not to misuse crabgrass preventer or it could have adverse effects on your lawn.
    • Sample your soil- Sampling your soil can help you in many ways by finding out what nutrients your lawn needs. Every lawn is different and knowing exactly what needs your grass has is a good place to start when giving your lawn the individualized attention it deserves.
