As the snow melts and the first signs of green begin to show, it’s easy to feel excited about spring. But if you’re looking out at your lawn and noticing patchy grass, lingering bare spots, or signs of weeds already waking up—you’re not alone.
Spring is the most important time to reset your landscape and give it the support it needs after a long, cold winter. Whether you’re a homeowner wanting a lush front yard, or a property manager maintaining a professional appearance, there are a few essential steps that make all the difference this time of year.
At Making Solid Ground Lawn Care, we help properties across Mount Sinai transition smoothly into spring with a proven approach that includes sod installation, pre-emergent weed control, and spring fertilizer. Here’s why each one matters—and why timing is everything.
1. Repair Winter Damage with Fresh Sod
Long Island winters can be hard on turf. Snow mold, ice, poor drainage, or just the weight of foot traffic can leave areas of your lawn thin, muddy, or bare. If those patches aren’t responding to sunlight and warmer temps, it may be time for new sod.
Sod offers an immediate improvement in both appearance and health. It’s especially helpful in high-visibility areas—like front lawns, walkways, or commercial entrances—where patchy grass can affect curb appeal. We properly prepare the soil, ensure healthy rooting, and install only premium sod that’s built to thrive in our local climate.
2. Prevent Weeds Before They Appear
It’s easy to underestimate weeds—until they take over your lawn by mid-June. The best way to stop them? Pre-emergent weed control.
Pre-emergent products target weed seeds before they have a chance to germinate. When applied at the right time—typically in early spring, before the soil temperature rises—it can prevent invasive grasses like crabgrass and broadleaf weeds from ever breaking the surface.
This step is essential for maintaining a clean, healthy lawn throughout the growing season. Once weeds appear, they compete with your grass for nutrients, water, and sunlight, making it harder to achieve that full, uniform look you’re after.
3. Feed Your Lawn the Nutrients It Needs
Think of early spring as your lawn’s recovery phase. After months of dormancy, the roots are waking up and searching for nutrients. Without a proper feeding, growth can be slow, uneven, and weak.
A spring fertilizer application provides the essential nutrients your turf needs to establish strong roots and lush growth. At Making Solid Ground, we use a premium slow-release blend tailored to Long Island’s unique soil and weather patterns. This gives your lawn a balanced start—and sets it up for a strong, resilient season ahead.
For Residential and Commercial Properties Alike
If you manage a commercial property, spring lawn care is just as important. A healthy, vibrant landscape reflects positively on your business and can reduce long-term maintenance needs throughout the season.
Homeowners benefit too—not just from the aesthetic appeal, but from the comfort and satisfaction of having a space that’s clean, green, and enjoyable from the moment spring arrives.
