Lawn Care Checklist

Lawn Care Checklist for landscaping professionals to keep track of tasks like mowing, fertilizing, and watering to maintain healthy lawns throughout the season.

1. Has the lawn been cleared of debris, such as fallen branches and matted leaves, to prevent snow mold?

2. Have you conducted a soil test to determine the pH level and specific nutrient needs for the upcoming season?

3. Has the soil been aerated to reduce compaction and allow water and nutrients to reach the roots?

4. Is a pre-emergent herbicide applied before soil temperatures reach 55°F to prevent crabgrass and other weeds?

5. Have bare spots been addressed through overseeding and proper watering to encourage new growth?

6. Has the first fertilization of the year been applied once the grass begins its active growth phase?

1. Are you following the one-third rule by never removing more than one-third of the grass blade height in a single mowing?

2. Is the mowing height raised during peak heat to provide shade for the soil and protect the root system?

3. Are the mower blades sharpened regularly to ensure clean cuts and prevent disease susceptibility?

4. Does the lawn receive approximately one inch of water per week, preferably in the early morning to reduce evaporation?

5. Are you regularly monitoring for pests and diseases, such as grubs or brown patch, which thrive in humid conditions?

1. Is the lawn thoroughly raked or mulched to prevent leaves from suffocating the grass over winter?

2. Has a nitrogen-rich "winterizer" fertilizer been applied to strengthen roots for the dormant season?

3. Is overseeding performed in early fall while soil temperatures are still warm enough for germination?

4. Have you applied post-emergent herbicide to target perennial broadleaf weeds before they go dormant?

5. Is the final mow of the season set slightly lower to prevent the grass from matting under snow?

6. Have all irrigation systems and hoses been drained and winterized to prevent pipe bursts?
