• Clean up. Rake lawn of all sticks and leaves, dethatch if necessary to remove as much dead grass as possible.
  
  
• Mow early. As soon as weather permits, set mower one notch lower . This will result in early green up by letting more light in.
  
  
• Fertilize. Now is the time to prevent crabgrass from sprouting by fertilizing.
  

LATE SPRING

• Eliminate weeds. Late spring is the time to wipe out dandelions and broadleaf weeds. This is done with fertilizer with weed control built in to the mix.
  
  
• Prevent Grubs. Be sure to fertilize with a Grub control mixture. Those pests can ruin your lawn.
