Revive Your Lawn After Winter With These Easy Steps

Winter can leave your lawn looking tired, with brown patches and bare spots. Don’t worry—it’s normal! With a few essential steps, you can repair the damage and prepare your grass for the season ahead. Here’s how to give your lawn the care it needs for a fresh and healthy start this spring.

Start with fertilising

After enduring winter’s rain, frost, and storms, your lawn needs a nutritional boost. A good-quality fertiliser containing iron sulphate is ideal for early spring. Not only does it help eliminate moss, but it also revives the lawn’s deep green colour within days.

Iron sulphate strengthens the grass by improving its cellular structure, making it more resilient to future wear and tear. This simple step lays the foundation for a healthy lawn ready to thrive.

Clear the way with scarifying

Winter can cause a build-up of thatch—a layer of dead organic material that prevents water, air, and nutrients from reaching the soil. Moss often takes hold during this time as well. Scarifying is the solution to this problem.

Using a scarifier or a rake, you’ll remove thatch and moss while improving aeration and drainage. Think of it as a way to clear the way for new growth. Scarifying may seem intense, but it’s an essential step to ensure your lawn can breathe and develop properly.

Deal with weeds

Weeds like clover are hardy enough to survive winter and will compete with your grass for nutrients. To restore balance, remove weeds as early as possible. Pulling them out by hand is highly effective, but if you prefer an alternative method, there are plenty of options.

Once you’ve cleared the weeds, reseed any bare patches to maintain a consistent and lush appearance.

Keep your lawn thriving

With these steps, your lawn will recover from winter and kickstart its growth for the season. To keep it looking its best, regular maintenance is key:

• Feed your lawn periodically with fertiliser.
• Check soil acidity and apply lime if needed.
