Your lawn has different needs throughout the year, and adjusting your sod care routine with the seasons can make all the difference. We’ll cover essential tips for summer drought protection, winter dormancy preparation, and year-round maintenance strategies to keep your lawn looking great in any climate.

Spring & Summer Lawn Care Tips

• Increase mowing frequency but avoid cutting more than 1/3 of the blade at a time.
• Water deeply in the morning to combat summer heat stress.
• Apply pre-emergent herbicides to prevent weeds before they sprout.

Fall & Winter Lawn Care Tips

• Reduce watering as temperatures drop.
• Aerate and overseed in fall to strengthen root growth.
• Apply a winterizing fertilizer to prepare for dormancy.

When to Schedule Sod Installation Based on Season

• Spring & Fall: Ideal for sod installation due to moderate temperatures.
• Summer: Requires more frequent watering but still possible.
• Winter: Dormant sod can be installed, but root establishment slows.

Tip:

Adjust your maintenance routine based on seasonal weather patterns to keep your lawn thriving year-round.
