It may seem like your warm-season lawn is taking the winter off, but that doesn’t mean that it should be neglected. And remember that cool-season lawns such as fescue and bluegrass don’t go dormant. In fact, they thrive in cooler weather. Bare spots or fungus are easier to spot while the grass is lush.
Did you have fertility or slow growth issues during the warmer months? Could be time for a soil test. And you’ll get the results in plenty of time to resolve nutrient deficiencies and improve soil structure.
You can still check up on the health of your turf by performing a few simple tasks. NG Turf suggests looking out for:
• Bare or thinning spots
• Pooling water or drainage issues
• Uneven or bumpy areas
• Winter weeds, which so up brilliantly in a dormant lawn
• Signs of pests or disease
