A great-looking lawn doesn’t happen by accident—it’s the result of consistent, well-timed care throughout the year. Each season brings its own challenges and opportunities, and knowing what to do (and when) is key to keeping your lawn lush, green, and healthy.

At VSherr Landscaping & Contracting, we’ve put together the ultimate seasonal checklist to help you stay on top of lawn maintenance—or let us take care of it for you with one of our customized Lawn Care & Maintenance Plans.

Spring: Wake Up Your Lawn

Spring is all about revival. As the snow melts and temperatures rise, your lawn needs a boost to start growing strong.

Spring checklist:

• Remove winter debris (leaves, twigs, dead grass)
• Aerate compacted soil to improve airflow and drainage
• Apply pre-emergent weed control
• Reseed bare patches
• Fertilize with a high-nitrogen formula
• Begin regular mowing once grass reaches 3 inches

Summer: Maintain and Protect

Summer heat can stress your lawn, especially during dry spells. The focus is on moisture retention and pest prevention.

Summer checklist:

• Water deeply and infrequently (early mornings are best)
• Mow frequently, but don’t cut too short (keep 3–3.5 inches)
• Apply grub and insect control if needed
• Spot-treat weeds
• Sharpen mower blades for a clean cut
• Monitor for fungal growth or yellowing

Fall: Prepare for Dormancy

Fall is the best time to strengthen roots and repair summer damage. It’s also when you set the foundation for spring growth.

Fall checklist:

• Rake leaves regularly to prevent suffocation
• Core aerate the soil again if needed
• Apply a slow-release fertilizer
• Overseed to thicken your lawn
• Continue mowing until growth stops
• Winterize irrigation systems

Winter: Plan and Protect

Your lawn may be dormant, but that doesn’t mean your work is done. Winter is a great time to plan next year’s improvements and keep things protected.

Winter checklist:

• Avoid heavy foot traffic on frosted grass
• Keep walkways clear of snow to reduce salt damage
• Inspect lawn equipment and schedule maintenance
• Book your spring lawn care services early
• Consider switching to low-maintenance options like artificial turf if desired
