Spring Lawn Service

So, we are in January and there is not much to do for the lawn here in St. Louis.  You can start shopping around to different lawn care services to see who will make the best match for you.

Start to get your lawn cleaned up for spring, because before you know it the grass is going to be growing like crazy.

If you do your own lawn be sure to get the first application of fertilizer ready, because that time will be here before you know it.  Especially if the weather stays this warm.  You will need to get the pre-emergent fertilizer down before the crabgrass starts to germinate.  Putting the pre-emergent down on your lawn at the right time will prevent crabgrass from germinating and protect your lawn from crabgrass taking over.  Once the crabgrass germinates it is very hard to get rid of.

This first fertilizer application brings your lawn out of dormancy and provides it with much needed nutrients that it will need for the spring growing season in St. Louis.
