Healthy, lush lawns do not simply grow in the Summer months. If it did, lawncare and landscaping would never be a concern. Our lawns are alive just like we are, and require nourishment and routine maintenance in order to thrive and look their best. This means that even during the chillier off-season, routine landscape maintenance is crucial.
So what, exactly, does springtime landscape maintenance entail in the Emerson and Paramus, NJ, areas? Read below for more tips from us.
Necessary Inspections: During colder months, especially in the Northern NJ region, there are systems used routinely during the Summer months that tend to be neglected. An example of such systems are irrigation systems. After a cold winter, certain irrigation systems may not work up to par. Be sure to watch out for water leakage, inconsistent water patterns, and damage to hoses and sprinkler heads so that you can resolve any issues before the spring season fully begins. It is also advisable to perform these inspections during the late-fall months.
Fertilization: This is not only a time to fertilize your lawn, but also a good time to consider which plants, shrubs, and ornamentals you may want to decorate your landscape with. As Spring blooms and the ground begins to warm, paired with the consistent rainfall generally observed during the Spring season, the soil becomes far more capable of becoming nourished and fertilized.
Overseeding: Overseeding during the early Spring months can greatly benefit your landscape longterm, especially during the Summer months. The reason why overseeding specifically during the early Spring months is important is because you want to be able to give the seeds time to germinate and mature before the heat of the summer sun starts beating down, making it more difficult for the seeds to absorb nutrients.
