🌱 Lawn Care Tips for April 2025

1. Start Mowing Regularly

• Begin mowing as your grass starts to grow (usually when it hits about 3-4 inches tall).

• Keep your mower blades sharp for a clean cut.

• Don’t cut more than 1/3 of the grass height at a time.

2. Apply Pre-Emergent Weed Control (If Not Done in March)

• Early April is the last window to apply pre-emergent herbicides to prevent crabgrass and other summer weeds.

• Use a product labeled safe for your grass type (Bermuda, Zoysia, Fescue, etc.).

3. Fertilize Warm-Season Grasses (Mid to Late April)

• Bermuda & Zoysia Lawns: Apply a slow-release nitrogen fertilizer when soil temps reach 65°F consistently.

4. Overseed Bare Spots (Cool-Season Lawns Only)

• If you have a Fescue lawn and missed fall overseeding, you can lightly overseed in early April.

• Keep the soil moist for good seed-to-soil contact.

5. Watering

• April showers help, but if it’s dry, water your lawn deeply 1–2 times a week.

• Early morning watering is best to reduce disease risk.

6. Aeration

• Warm-season lawns (Bermuda/Zoysia) can be aerated this month, especially if the soil is compacted.

• Wait to aerate cool-season lawns (Fescue) until fall.

7. Watch for Pests & Diseases

• Keep an eye out for mole crickets, grubs, and fungus – especially in areas with poor drainage or heavy shade.

8. Clean Up

• Remove leaves, sticks, and debris that can smother grass and promote disease.

9. Edge & Trim Beds

• Redefine borders around flower beds and sidewalks to give your yard a clean, professional look.

10. Mulch Time!

• Freshen up your mulch beds – it helps retain moisture and control weeds.

🌿 April Lawn Care Highlights

• Mow regularly once grass hits 3-4 inches. Don’t cut more than 1/3 at a time.

• Apply pre-emergent herbicide early in the month to block summer weeds.

• Fertilize warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia by mid-late April.

• Overseed cool-season grasses (like Fescue) only if needed and early in April.

• Water deeply if rainfall is light—aim for 1–2 times per week.

• Aerate Bermuda/Zoysia lawns to relieve compaction.

• Watch for pests and fungus, especially in damp, shaded areas.

• Clean up debris, edge beds, and refresh mulch for a polished look.
