With warmer weather on the horizon, it's time to start thinking about preparing your lawn for spring. For homeowners in Indiana, it’s important to get your lawn off to a healthy start once the snow melts away. Here are some simple lawn care tips to help your yard thrive this spring!

Clean up debris:
Before you do anything else, take the time to clean up any debris that has accumulated on your lawn over the winter. This includes fallen branches, leaves, and any other clutter that may have collected. This will allow your grass to breathe and receive the sunlight it needs to grow.

Fertilize:
Fertilizing your lawn in the spring will help supply the nutrients your grass needs to grow lush and green. Be sure to choose a fertilizer that is appropriate for the type of grass you have and apply it according to the instructions on the packaging.

Weed Control:
Spring is the perfect time to apply pre-emergent weed control treatments to your yard. A proactive approach to weed control can help you get ahead of the weeds before they sprout, saving you time, energy, and money trying to get rid of them later on. 

Mow at the proper height:
When your grass starts to grow, be sure to mow it at the proper height. Most grass types in Indiana do best when kept at a height of around 4 inches. Keeping your grass too short can stress it out and make it more susceptible to weeds and diseases.

Water deeply but infrequently:
It's important to water your lawn deeply but infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Watering your lawn for a longer period of time a few times a week is better than watering it for shorter periods every day.
