Keeping a great lawn in Michigan takes more than mowing when the grass gets tall.
Each season brings new challenges — and new opportunities — to improve your turf’s health, appearance, and resilience. This checklist breaks down exactly what your lawn needs throughout the year in Oakland County’s unique climate. ? Spring: Wake It Up Right After months of snow and ice, spring is the time to prep, clean, and set the tone for the entire growing season.
✅ Spring Lawn Care Tasks: Clean up debris: Remove branches, leaves, and dead grass. First mow: Wait until your lawn reaches 3 inches, then mow down to about 2.5–3 inches. Pre-emergent treatment: Apply pre-emergent herbicide in March–April to prevent crabgrass. Core aeration (if skipped in fall): Improves air, water, and nutrient flow.
Early fertilization: A slow-release nitrogen fertilizer helps kickstart growth. ? Pro Tip: Don’t rake too early—let the lawn dry first to avoid pulling up healthy grass. ☀️ Summer: Protect Against Heat and Stress Summer in Oakland County brings heat, foot traffic, and potential droughts. Here’s how to keep your lawn green without overdoing it.
✅ Summer Lawn Care Tasks: Mow higher: Raise your blade to 3.5–4 inches to shade soil and retain moisture. Water deeply & early: Water 1–2 times per week in the early morning, aiming for 1″ total. Spot-treat weeds: Avoid blanket herbicide sprays that can stress grass in heat. Keep mower blades sharp: Dull blades tear grass and invite disease. Avoid fertilizing in drought: It can burn already-stressed lawns. ?
