Snow’s Gone, Time to Work

happy yard

Finally, finally, the last of the snow in Calgary is melting off lawns; the only downside being what an ugly, matted mess front yards across the city now look like. It’s time to get to work.

  • Use a sturdy metal rake to get rid of as much thatch and other debris as possible. This in itself will go a long way toward sprucing up your curb appeal.

  • Spread fertilizer, using a lower nitrogen concentration for the spring than in the fall (or start your Nutri-lawn service).

  • Mow your lawn frequently to strengthen roots for the summer.

  • Begin your watering routine, using an upside down frisbee to gauge when you’ve sprinkled enough.

Eventually you’ll need to start taking care of weeds, and letting the grass grow a little longer to survive the summer months, but for now these simple steps will make you proud to bring visitors in the front door again.
