March is here, and that means it’s time to shake off the winter chill and start thinking about your lawn and garden! In Northern Nevada, early spring can be unpredictable — cool mornings, occasional frost, and warming afternoons — but it’s the perfect time to prepare your lawn and garden for a healthy, green season ahead.
Whether your goal is a lush, green lawn for St. Patrick’s Day or long-term landscape success, planning now sets the stage for strong growth all spring and summer.
Give Your Lawn a Winter Wake-Up Call
Cleaning up debris: Remove fallen leaves, sticks, and any winter mulch that may have compacted your soil.
Light raking or dethatching: This encourages airflow and helps new growth emerge.
Check for winter damage: Look for bare patches, thinning areas, or signs of disease. Early repair now saves bigger problems later.
Prep Your Soil & Lawn Foundation
Healthy sod starts with healthy soil. Before laying sod or repairing your lawn:
-
Test soil pH and nutrients
-
Amend soil with compost or lawn-specific fertilizers
-
Grade low spots to prevent pooling water
-
Check irrigation systems and repair any leaks
A strong foundation ensures your lawn thrives all season, not just for a quick green boost.
Early Season Lawn Care Tips
-
Fertilize with a balanced early-spring feed to jumpstart growth
-
Water strategically: Begin with light watering as temperatures rise — avoid overwatering when soils are still cool
-
Address bare spots: Overseed or patch with new sod to fill thin areas before full spring growth begins
💡 Remember: early action now leads to a lawn that’s greener, healthier, and ready for the months ahead.
