Caring for your lawn in Bridgewater Corners, VT is a rewarding task that can significantly enhance the curb appeal of your home and provide a lush green space for outdoor activities. Given the local climate which experiences a diversity of seasons, there are specific strategies you should follow to maintain a healthy and vibrant lawn.

Firstly, mowing is a vital step in lawn care. In Bridgewater, the best time to start mowing is in late spring, when the grass starts growing robustly. Make sure to not cut the grass too short, as this could damage it and allow weeds to take hold.

Next, fertilizing your lawn is essential to provide it with necessary nutrients. For our Bridgewater soil, which tends to be slightly acidic, a fertilizer rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is recommended. The best time to fertilize is in early spring and fall.

Seeding and watering are also crucial steps in maintaining a lush lawn. Reseed any bare patches in early spring or fall to give the grass a chance to establish before intense summer or winter weather. Watering should be done in the morning, ensuring that the soil is moist but not waterlogged. Be aware of any water restrictions in Bridgewater Corners, especially during dry summer months.

Aerating and dethatching are two important steps that help to improve soil health and grass growth. Aeration involves making small holes in the soil to allow air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots, while dethatching helps to remove dead grass and moss that can stifle new growth. The best time to do these tasks is in the fall, before the first frost.

Whether you live in the historic heart of Bridgewater Corners or in the newer neighborhoods near the beautiful Silver Lake State Park, these lawn care tips will help you keep your lawn looking its best throughout the year. Remember, a well-maintained lawn not only adds aesthetic value to your home but also provides a welcoming space for outdoor family fun.
