Four Things You Must Do For Your Lawn This Spring
Spring is fast approaching and if you live in the Midwest or points North, your lawn will soon begin to awaken from winter slumber.
This winter has been a long and especially harsh one, and your turf will need a little help if it's going to look lush and green in time for early Summer picnics and horseshoes.
Here are 4 "must-dos" in regards to your lawn this March:
Aeration
I recommend every lawn be aerated in mid-March (assuming ground is thawed) to help manage thatch levels and loosen hardened and compacted soil. Thatch is the layer of dead grass, leaves and other organic material that collects just above the soil line.
Some thatch is necessary to keep turf root systems shaded and reduce soil erosion and water runoff. However, too much thatch (more than 1") can block water absorption and create shallow rooting in the lawn.
Aeration will manage the thatch layer properly without completely eliminating it like a power-raking or de-thatching would do. I DO NOT recommend power raking except in extreme cases.
You can rent an aerator for about $60 per day and I'd recommend running across your lawn twice. (north and south and then east and west) If this is a bit steep in price for you, consider getting your neighbors to pitch in and share the time. It's well worth the effort.
The Spring Cleanup
Your lawn probably has all kinds of garbage and litter strewed around after winter storms and winds. If you have big trees, you no doubt will have limbs and leaves scattered about.
Limbs have to be picked up by hand (don't hit them with your mower and ruin your blade!) but leaves can be mowed over and sucked up in the bag.
This initial cutting should have the height adjusted one setting lower than your normal cutting to help rejuvenate the turf. (normal cutting height is 2.5-3" ... initial cut should be between 2-2.5") Always bag the clippings on this intitial cutting.
Starter Fertilizer
One you've completed the above, it's time to hit the lawn with a nice dose of fertilizer to start the growing process off right.
If you're going to use synthetic fertilizer (like Scott's or K-grow) you need to grab the 20-20-10 or 20-10-10 (also know as 'starter fertilizer'). The first number represents nitrogen and should be the largest number of the 3.
If you want to use a more natural option this season, I'd recommend a hybrid formulation that contains 50% naturally derived products and 50% synthetic. Natural fertilizers break down slower in the soil unless temps are above 55 degrees. This does not happen much in March in the Midwest.
If you go with a hybrid blend, you will get some good release now, and some later.
Seeding
Notice that we have not put down any weed control or crab grass preventor yet? That's because we'll address those problems in April.
Because of this, it's a great time to introduce some fresh cultivars of grass seed into the lawn. A general overseeding directly after the aeration is recommended to help the overall thickness of the turf.
A rate of 1-pound seed per 1,000 square feet of lawn is going to be plenty. Also, since we're in the Spring season, the rains will do the trick in keeping the seed moist.
In addition, don't buy cheap seed. Look at the label on the back and see the percentage of "noxious weed seed" or "inert material." Both of those together should be less than 3% of the total contents.
You'll be safe adding Kentucky bluegrass or perennial ryegrass to most lawns, however, I am a fan of turf-type-tall fescue blends as they tolerate drought better.
If you implement these 4 simple steps in early-to-mid March this year, you'll be off to a great start and be able to enjoy your lawn that much sooner.

John Deere Lawn Mowers
The range of John Deere mowers goes from push mowers to riding mowers in just about any size you need for your lawn. The John Deere name has been a well known brand for many years. From residential to commercial mowers they sell what you need to get the job done.
The residential push mowers are available in a variety of sizes from the 21" self propelled gas push mower that retails for around $399. This mower features 6.75 ft/lbs torque and easily converts from a mulch to bag to discharge mower. The height is adjustable to nine different levels. The rear wheel drive is great for the performance of the mower on any type of terrain.
If you are looking for a 21" push mower without the self propulsion there are several available including ones with bags. Your choices include gas mowers or electric. The convenience of being lightweight combined with the edge trimming that is available make this mower one of the best for trimming your lawn.
For smaller lawns a 16" mower is available. The prices range on these mowers from about $300 right on up the scale to the riding lawn mowers. The John Deere line of mowers make the one that is right for your needs. If a riding mower is what you are looking for the 19.5 horsepower, 42" riding mower is available for $1499. The convenience of riding instead of pushing combined with the maneuverability of this mower make it a great value for medium to large yards.
The John Deere mower is made of cast aluminum to prevent rusting of the deck. The mower will keep the great look it had when you purchased it. The ability to life the blade system so they will be safe while transporting the mower is one of the features many people have come to expect from John Deere. The mowers are available with bagger options so there is no need to rake the grass trimmings. The easy adjustment of the mower allows for trimming to the desired height.
There are several riding mowers available from residential to commercial. Included in the residential mowers are the 22 horsepower with 42" cut for $1899 and the 26 horsepower with 54" cut for $2699. These are only a few of the fine mowers made by John Deere.
The commercial mowers made by John Deere is one you will choose for the commercial work you do. The Deere 1600 Turbo commercial mower is one that you might want to consider. These mowers retail for $56,649. However if you are in the market for a used mower you can purchase one for around $38,000. No matter if it is new or used John Deere stands behind their products.
This mower is one of the best for mowing no matter where you need to mow. The on-demand or full time four wheel drive makes this mower a great one for mowing on steep terrain where other mowers will not go.
If you are looking for the best name in mowers, try the John Deere brand. If you need a new or used mower they still have the best ones available for the best price. Used push mowers are available from around $150 and up. This is about half the price of the new push mower. The riding mowers are all different prices depending upon the usage. Regardless of the type you are seeking, you will find the John Deere name at virtually anywhere you shop, online or off.
