Spring health check for Utah lawns
Spring is a time to wake up the turf. Utah crews look for readiness in soil and root systems after winter. Start with a soil test if you haven’t done one recently. Apply a light fertilizer if your soil test calls for it and the weather is warm enough. Gentle aeration can help with compacted soil left from winter, allowing roots to establish as temperatures climb.
Mid to late spring: get ahead of heat and weeds
As days lengthen, weeds start competing with your grass. A preventive approach works better than pulling by hand. Mow regularly at the right height and water deeply in the cool parts of the day. If you overseed, choose a blend that matches Utah’s climate and sun exposure and follow it up with a steady watering schedule to help new seedlings take root.
Summer care across Utah
Heat brings stress. Deep, infrequent watering helps the most. Water in the early morning to minimize evaporation. If you see yellowing or thinning, a light feeding can help, but avoid heavy applications during the peak heat. Keep mowing at a height that protects roots and preserves moisture in the soil.
Fall and preparing for winter
Fall is for root growth and recovery. Gradually reduce mowing height as temperatures fall and avoid heavy disease pressure by cleaning up lawn debris. If you’ve got bare spots, consider overseeding with a Utah-friendly mix. Finish with a light fertilizer if recommended by a soil test or our lawn care specialists.
