January: As the new year begins, it's time to start thinking about lawn care. Begin the year by cleaning up any debris that may have accumulated during the winter months. Check for any signs of winter damage and make a plan to address them as needed.

February: As the temperatures start to rise, it's time to start thinking about fertilizing your lawn. A slow-release fertilizer can help promote healthy growth and green up your lawn. Additionally, it's a good time to aerate your lawn to promote better water and nutrient absorption.

March: Spring is officially here, and it's time to start mowing your lawn regularly. Set your mower blade to the appropriate height for the type of grass you have and be sure not to cut more than one-third of the grass blade at a time. This will help promote healthy growth and prevent stress on the grass.

April: With the arrival of warmer weather, weeds will start to make their appearance in your lawn. It's important to start tackling them early to prevent them from taking over. Consider applying a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent weeds from germinating.

May: With summer just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about watering your lawn. Be sure to water deeply and infrequently to encourage deep root growth. Early morning is the best time to water to avoid evaporation.

June: As summer temperatures rise, it's important to adjust your mowing schedule accordingly. Raise your mower blade to allow the grass to grow a bit taller, which will help it retain moisture and withstand heat stress.

July: In the midst of summer heat, be sure to provide your lawn with adequate hydration. If you notice signs of stress such as browning or wilting, give your lawn a deep watering to help it recover.

August: As the summer months wind down, it's a good time to start thinking about overseeding any bare or thin spots in your lawn. This will help fill in the gaps and create a lush, healthy lawn.

September: As fall approaches, it's time to start thinking about aeration. Aerating your lawn will help loosen compacted soil and promote better water and nutrient absorption. Consider overseeding at this time as well.

October: With the arrival of fall, it's time to start preparing your lawn for winter dormancy. Continue to mow as needed, but gradually lower your mower blade to help the grass prepare for winter.

November: As winter approaches, be sure to clean up any remaining debris from your lawn to prevent it from smothering the grass. Consider applying a winterizing fertilizer to provide your lawn with the nutrients it needs to survive the winter.

December: As the year comes to a close, take some time to reflect on the progress your lawn has made over the past year. Plan ahead for the upcoming year and make a list of any improvements you'd like to make.
