Want a Greener Lawn Sooner?

Mowing your lawn early in the spring will result in the lawn greening up sooner. 

We receive many calls each spring from our customers wanting their spring treatments immediately because the lawn is not greening up.  Generally, the lawn has plenty of fertilizer left the previous years fall or winterizer treatment to green up.  The lawn is dormant in the spring and needs to be stimulated to wake up and start to grow again.  Mowing the lawn as early as possible provides stimulus the helps promote the greening process. As you mow it removes the nutrients necessary to start greening up.  Occasionally, some light raking may be needed to stand the grass plants up before mowing.
