Spring has sprung but BEWARE

March 19th, 2009

Yes, spring looks like it has finally arrived.  I’ve seen many people outside starting to clean up the debris that this past winter has left behind.  I want to point out that you should keep your efforts to just cleaning up.  Be patient, now is not the time to fix any lawn areas that may need fixing.  It is important to note that while the air temperature feels warm, the soil temperature is much cooler.  When planting grass seed, soil temperature is a major factor in germination.  Typically, the soil needs to be at a temperature of around 55 degrees in order for seed to germinate.  That being said, we usually do not install grass seed until the end of April.  So, enjoy the nice weather take a breath of the fresh spring air, but be patient with any lawn restoration.
