Ever So Green Shares Winter Lawn Protection Tips

HOWELL, Mich. - Nov. 6, 2024 - PRLog -- What can you do for your lawn while you wait for spring?

Michigan winters can be harsh with freezing temperatures and heavy snow. Taking a few simple measures to protect your lawn during this time will help you have a healthy, vibrant yard come spring.

Avoid Getting Salt on the Lawn

With Michigan's snowy and icy conditions, road salt is commonly used, but it can severely damage your grass. Try to avoid spreading salt directly onto your lawn, or use sand/other environmentally-friendly ice melts to minimize harm to the grass and soil.

Avoid Foot Traffic on Frozen Grass

Frozen grass is brittle and can easily be damaged. Try to keep off your lawn as much as possible during the winter months. Excessive foot traffic can compact the soil and damage the grass, making it harder for it to recover in the spring.

Monitor Snow Pileup

If snow accumulates in large piles, especially from shoveling or snowplowing, try to distribute it more evenly across your lawn. Heavy snow piles can smother grass and cause damage.

By taking these preventive measures, can help protect your lawn during the dormant months and ensure it emerges healthy and green when spring arrives.
