As we power through April, it feels like summer is just around the corner with those rare 20-degree days! Of course, we've also had a bit more snow than expected—welcome to life in Alberta. But let's focus on the positives, right?
With the warmer weather finally settling in, your lawn deserves some TLC. Lucky for you, your friendly neighborhood Rümi is here to transform your yard from drab to fab! Whether you're ready to call in the pros for a thorough spring clean or prefer to roll up your sleeves yourself, we've got you covered with expert advice straight from the pros.
First things first: clear that clutter. Raking might seem like a chore reserved for autumn, but starting fresh with a good raking is essential. It helps get rid of last season's mud, leaves, and any lingering debris. While some critters might have sought shelter under that mess during winter, it's time to tidy up before the snow melts completely. Leftover snow Mold can harm your lawn, so don't skip this step!
Next up, give your grass a makeover. Check your mower blades—are they sharp enough for the season? Dull blades can damage your lawn, leading to uneven cuts and more work for you later. Aim for a cutting height of 2–3 inches. To keep your grass looking neat, vary your mowing patterns and avoid cutting when it’s wet—it's easier on both you and your lawn.
Now onto weeds—they’re pesky little things! While it’s tempting to douse your entire yard with weed killer, proceed with caution. Avoid spraying near flowerbeds, kids' play areas, and pet zones. If you do treat an area, keep humans and pets away for at least 24 hours. Always wear protective gear like gloves and goggles when handling chemicals.
Don’t forget about your soil! A long winter means your lawn needs a nutrient boost. Look for fertilizers rich in nitrogen (for leaf growth), phosphate (for roots), and potassium (for cell strength). Adjust your fertilizer strategy throughout the season—higher phosphate in spring, more nitrogen in summer, and increased potassium in fall.
Lastly, take care of your trees and shrubs by pruning dead branches. Inspect your plants for signs of damage or disease and trim accordingly. For minor issues, consider supporting weak branches with stakes. A little effort now goes a long way toward a thriving garden.
And hey, while you’re out there working hard, why not treat yourself to crystal-clear windows? A sparkling view makes all that effort even more rewarding. Rümi’s window cleaning service ensures your living room doubles as a perfect gallery showcasing your newly refreshed outdoor space.
