Fix These 4 Signs of Winter Lawn Damage Now – or Risk Patchy Grass All Season

Lawn with flowerbeds.

Late winter and early spring are key times for a lawn, and addressing problems early can prevent summer issues. During this important transitional period, a vital step is to improve the oxygen supply to the grass. Treating winter lawn damage helps with strong growth, healthy grass, and means a lush lawn come summer.

Even small, cosmetic winter lawn damage can become more time-consuming later if it is left to develop. Taking simple steps in late winter or early spring to remove moss, clear debris, and reduce compaction means more air gets to the grass roots, which helps them grow deeper, stronger roots that can take in more water and nutrients.
