Spring treatment of lawns for better turf
Garden guidance from the Dominion Experimental Farms details early spring lawn care. Start with rolling after frost ends, then thorough raking to remove dead material, light top dressing, and adjust soil depth to level surfaces without burying grass. Re-seed only if thin patches remain, with a Kentucky Blue Colonial Bent White Dutch clover mix. Fertilizing is essential, especially under trees, to prevent starvation and promote vigorous growth.
