Seasonal Sod Care Tips Every Homeowner Should Know

A fresh sod lawn instantly boosts curb appeal, but keeping it healthy requires year-round attention. Different seasons bring different needs, and following the right routine ensures your sod thrives.

At W5LC Landscape, we help homeowners get the most from their lawns. Here are seasonal sod care tips to keep your yard looking lush.

Spring: Establish and Refresh

• Water deeply to encourage root growth.
• Fertilize with a balanced formula to boost new growth.
• Reseed bare patches if needed.

Summer: Protect from Heat

• Water early in the morning to prevent evaporation.
• Mow regularly but keep grass slightly taller for shade.
• Watch for pests and drought stress.

Fall: Strengthen Roots

• Aerate to improve water and nutrient absorption.
• Fertilize with a root-strengthening blend.
• Continue watering until the first frost.

Winter: Maintain and Prepare

• Clear leaves and debris to prevent mold.
• Limit traffic on frozen or wet sod.
