Most homeowners dream of having a perfect, lush, green, healthy lawn. It not only adds more value to your home and beautifies it, but it also provides a safe and healthy space to spend some time with your friends and family. Lawn care calls for proper home improvement and maintenance needs, like any other home maintenance task.

Crabgrass and other types of weed generally begin to grow in late spring and bloom fully during the summer. You can use a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent weed growth. It is the most effective and critical chemical component to eliminate weeds.

Don’t water your lawn more than an inch every week. This is because there is still sufficient moisture in the soil. If you live someplace where there is frequent rainfall, don’t use a sprinkler system as overwatering may result in weed growth.

Earthworms, moles, and other bugs begin to emerge as the weather starts to warm up. The best time to lay traps is during spring, just before the moles begin to dig their tunnels. You can also use bait to lure bugs out and then spray them with a plant-friendly insecticide.
