Spring Lawn Care Quick Guide

Spring Lawn Care Quick Guide is designed for homeowners who want a fast, actionable plan for the most important season of the year — without reading a full book.

Spring sets the tone for your entire lawn year. Get pre-emergent down at the right time, and you prevent 80% of your weed problems. Miss the window by two weeks, and you’re playing catch-up until fall.

This guide covers:

• Pre-emergent timing — how to use soil temperature (not calendar dates) to nail the application window for your region.
• First mow strategy — blade prep, mowing height, and why scalping your lawn in spring is one of the worst things you can do.
• Spring fertilization — the right products and timing for both cool-season and warm-season grasses.
• Early weed control — identify what’s popping up and choose the right post-emergent approach.
• Watering transitions — how to ramp up irrigation as temperatures rise without encouraging disease.
• Week-by-week checklists — so nothing falls through the cracks.

Short, practical, and designed to be referenced all season. No filler, no theory — just what to do and when.

Available on Kindle — $2.99.
