Using Your Yard Equipment For Winter Lawn Care

Taking care of your lawn is a year-round process, and just because it’s winter doesn’t mean there aren’t chores to complete. If you want your yard to look nice in the spring, you’ll want to ensure that you’re attending to various upkeep tasks now. Here are some things you can do to attend to your lawn properly.

Maintain Your Yard Equipment

First off, now is a great time to take care of all those bits of maintenance you haven’t performed over the previous months. Check the owner’s manual for your pieces of equipment to see what tasks and products are recommended. Cleaning up your machines is a good place to start; you can then perform oil changes and lubricate moving parts as needed.

Aerate Your Yard

In order to get some fresh air into your soil, you’ll want to aerate it. Once the frost sets in, it tends to make a seal over the top of your yard, so it can’t get any air. Wait for a day without frost and aerate then for best results. Also, you should make sure to rake up dead leaves and remove other organic matter from your lawn’s surface.

Prune Plants

Your shrubs, bushes, and trees could use a good pruning now that winter is here. Use your pruning shears to carefully prune each plant’s branches so that they’ll grow better in the spring.
