It’s amazing what that first hint of spring in the air can do. It invigorates everything with new life. The trees swell with leaves, flowers 
become abundant, the birds sing ever so sweetly… and your grass seems to suddenly come back to life. Now is the perfect time to check out these few spring lawn maintenance tips for your Main Line landscape to ensure you have wonderful green turf all season long!
Do a soil test – Lots of rain and snow during the winter might be great for the water table, but it can also make the soil more acidic, which is detrimental to a healthy lawn. A critical spring lawn maintenance tip for your Philadelphia residence includes doing a soil test. By determining your soils’ pH, you can supply the necessary nutrients that your grass needs.
Apply fertilizer – Your winter grasses are probably still using the fertilizer applied in the falls. However, warm season grasses will need some fresh “vitamins”, as they will begin actively using them once the weather heats up.
Remove the weeds – No point in waiting until those weeds become big, bad and ugly. Spring is the perfect time to apply an herbicide 
to your lawn, to effectively nip those weeds in the bud!
Exercise with the rake – This classic yard tool is not restricted only to autumnal use, but it serves a very important function in the springtime. By raking thoroughly over emerging grass, you are able to both loosen dense patches as well as identify baring areas that need some attention.
