Tips for a Green & Thick Lawn This Spring – From Your Local Lawn Experts
As the owner of Green Seasons Lawns here in Kearney, I know how much pride we all take in having a lush, green lawn. It’s not just about curb appeal—though that’s a nice bonus—it’s about creating a comfortable, healthy outdoor space for your family to enjoy. A thick lawn can even boost your property’s value. That’s why I’m passionate about helping our clients get the most out of their yards.
Here are some tried-and-true tips we use to help you grow a lawn that’s thick, green, and the envy of the neighborhood this spring:
Start with a Soil Test
Before you start adding products to your lawn, it’s smart to understand what your soil actually needs. A simple soil test tells us the pH level and nutrient content, which helps determine the right kind (and amount) of fertilizer. Think of it like a check-up for your lawn—it gives us the information needed to treat it right.
Fertilize Smart
Fertilizer is key to encouraging strong roots and vibrant growth. A well-balanced fertilizer applied at the right time can make all the difference. Be careful though—too much, or the wrong kind, can do more harm than good. If you're unsure, our team at Green Seasons Lawns can assess your lawn’s needs and apply the right mix safely and effectively.
Tackle Weeds Early
Weeds are more than just an eyesore—they compete with your grass for water and nutrients. Identifying and treating them early with the appropriate herbicide is crucial. And when applying any treatment, we always follow best practices to make sure your lawn—and your surrounding plants—stay safe and healthy.
Fill in Bare Spots with Seeding
Over time, it's normal for lawns to thin out in places. Seeding helps fill those spots and promotes new growth. The key is to choose the right type of grass seed for our local climate and your specific soil. Done properly, it can give your lawn a serious boost in density and color.
