Don't Forget Your Halifax Lawn in the Winter Months

Halifax Lawn in WinterIf you are selling your Halifax home, it's still important to take care of your lawn even when it's dormant. This will not only keep your neighbors happy but potential buyers interested, starting from the curb all the way into your home.

Winter lawn care is important to ensure a healthy lawn come springtime. I'm not talking involved care or high maintenance; just following some simple precautions can make all the difference to your lawn.

The first and easiest thing you can do is to rake up any leaves that cover your lawn. If they are left sitting over grass, they will create dead spots that you will be trying to regrow all next season.

The same goes for clutter and debris, such as toys. It's wintertime in Halifax, more than likely snow packed, and toys should not be out anyway. Although you may think your grass is completely dormant during the winter months, it still needs oxygen and sunlight to maintain life. Remember: If you have it covered, you have it smothered.

Winter is a time for holiday parties and family get-togethers and more visiting cars than your driveway may hold. You may be tempted to park on your lawn but resist the urge and your lawn will thank you!

You can take lawn care two steps further, as well.

If your lawn has pH issues, now is the time to treat it with lime and other additives. Contact your local lawn specialist for more information.

Late winter is also a great time to aerate your lawn. Aerating is making small holes in the surface of your lawn. This allows for deeper root growth and a healthier lawn. By aerating, you also allow nutrients to gain direct access to the grass roots, giving you fuller, thicker lawns that will get the attention of potential buyers come spring.

Remember, when selling your home potential buyers notice everything and that will include the lawn that you have forgotten about in the dead of winter.
