Winter lawn care focuses on protecting grass, soil, and plants from the cold while laying the foundation for healthy growth. At Rosalio Padron Lawn Service, we provide expert winter lawn care services to keep your yard in top shape all season long.

Why Winter Lawn Care is Important

1. Prevents Lawn Damage
   Preparing your lawn for winter reduces the risk of frost damage, soil compaction, and disease.
2. Promotes Healthy Spring Growth
   Proper winter care ensures your grass bounces back stronger and greener after dormancy.
3. Protects Plants and Shrubs
   Shielding plants from freezing temperatures keeps them healthy and vibrant.
4. Reduces Pest Problems
   Removing debris and treating the soil helps prevent overwintering pests.

Essential Winter Lawn Care Tips

1. Aerate the Soil
   • Aeration reduces soil compaction and improves water and nutrient absorption.
2. Fertilize in Late Fall
   • Apply a winter fertilizer high in potassium to strengthen grass roots and prepare for spring.
3. Clear Leaves and Debris
   • Remove leaves, branches, and other debris to prevent mold and pests.
4. Mow at the Right Height
   • Keep grass slightly longer (2-3 inches) before the first frost to protect roots without inviting disease.
5. Water Before the Freeze
   • Hydrate your lawn before the ground freezes to maintain soil moisture.
6. Protect Shrubs and Plants
   • Use burlap wraps or mulch to insulate delicate plants and shrubs from frost.
