In Tampa Bay, we are fortunate enough to have beautiful weather the majority of the year. We all want our lawns to be beautiful, lush and green over the winter. Winter 2018 officially begins in the Northern Hemisphere on Friday, December 21 and ends on Wednesday, March 20, 2019 Eastern Time.
Here are some seasonal lawn care tips to prepare for our winter in Florida:
Fertilize
Speak with an expert of a lawn care company to determine the perfect fertilizer to use on your specific lawn. Fertilizing is an important step.
Watering
Talk with a sprinkler company in your area to find out the recommended amount. It is easy to overwater during the winter if you keep your automated sprinkler system at the same schedule. Make sure your sprinkler system is altered for the correct amount of watering needed. The standard is one inch of water per week during this time.
Weeding
Numerous types of weeds thrive during the winter months so you still need to apply weed control.
Debris
Let your lawn breathe. Remove the leaves and other organic debris on your lawn. If you leave the leaves, fallen tree branches etc., it may lead to bacteria and disease, and can suffocate your grass.
Aerate
Depending on the type of lawn you have, it is best to either aerate in the fall or winter time. Tall Fescue lawn is best in the winter since it still is rooting during the fall.
