Snow Melt Result

As we round the corner towards Spring, and the snow begins to melt, many of you may notice your lawn along the driveway is damaged by plows. A few snow storms this winter occured during a warm period where the ground hadn’t been completely frozen.
When we approach warmer weather these bare areas will fill up with undesirable weeds (mainly crabgrass). It is important to seed these areas as soon as possible. But, seeding in Spring can be difficult when there are many grass types competing for the same space. So, once the desired grass type has become established it is important to treat these areas with a herbicide, to kill or prevent future weeds from growing.
These new grass ares can be a struggle all season long, but with the right care, it can be very rewarding. Proper weed treatement and watering schedules can be very helpul, and it is important to stay on top of it.
