Seasonal Lawn Care Tips: How to Maintain Your Lawn Year-Round Oct 25, 2025

Maintaining a lush, green lawn is a year-round commitment that fluctuates with the seasons. At Zotelo's Lawncare LLC, we understand the unique challenges each season presents and are here to share some expert tips on how to keep your lawn in top shape throughout the year. Let's take a look at seasonal lawn care strategies that will help you achieve a beautiful landscape.

As winter's chill gives way to the freshness of spring, it's time to wake your lawn from its dormant slumber. Start by performing a thorough cleanup to remove leaves, twigs, and any debris. This helps to prep the soil for fertilization. Spring is the ideal time to aerate your lawn; this process involves perforating the soil with small holes to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots deeply. Follow up with overseeding to establish a dense, healthy turf resistant to weeds and drought. A balanced, slow-release fertilizer applied in early spring can provide essential nutrients for vibrant growth.

With the arrival of summer, your lawn enters a period of peak growth and, consequently, greater stress from heat and potential drought. To maintain a healthy lawn, water deeply and less frequently—aim for about an inch of water per week, delivered early in the morning to reduce evaporation. Raise your mower blades to leave the grass slightly longer, shading the roots and fostering moisture retention. At Zotelo's Lawncare LLC, we recommend continuing your regular fertilization schedule but in reduced quantities, as too much can burn the lawn in high temperatures.

Autumn, often the most overlooked season for lawn care, is crucial to preparing your lawn for the harsh winter months. This is the time to apply a fall-specific fertilizer to bolster root strength and increase energy reserves, promoting a robust start next spring. Continue to mow the lawn, gradually lowering the mower height with each session until the final mowing. Rake fallen leaves regularly, as they can smother the grass and block sunlight. Consider aerating your lawn in early fall to alleviate soil compaction and improve root growth.

Winter lawn care involves a more hands-off approach, but there are still essential practices to follow. As temperatures drop and frost sets in, minimize foot traffic on your lawn to prevent damage. Ensure your yard is free of debris, equipment, or furniture that could kill the grass beneath them. A light layer of mulch can protect your grass and soil, acting as an insulator against the cold, and help retain soil moisture.

Successful year-round lawn care requires a proactive and knowledgeable approach, adjusting your techniques to meet the demands of each season.
