Lawn care in Kennedy, MN requires a comprehensive approach that encompasses mowing, fertilizing, seeding, watering, aerating, and dethatching. Our climate here in Kennedy, with its cool winters and warm summers, influences the best times to perform these tasks.

Mowing is a crucial part of lawn care, and it should be done regularly in the growing season. In neighborhoods like Central Kennedy and East Kennedy, the best time to mow is in the late afternoon when the lawn is dry. This helps to protect the grass from diseases and pests.

Fertilizing and seeding are best done in the fall, taking advantage of the cool weather and giving the seeds enough time to germinate before winter sets in. A good quality fertilizer will provide the necessary nutrients for the grass to thrive. It's advisable to aerate the lawn before seeding and fertilizing to allow the nutrients to penetrate deeper into the soil.

Watering is a vital task, especially in the drier months. However, water restrictions may apply in some areas like West Kennedy and South Kennedy, so it's essential to stay updated with the local regulations. Aim to water your lawn early in the morning to minimize evaporation.

Finally, aerating and dethatching should be done in the spring or fall. This helps to break up compacted soil and remove thatch, promoting healthier growth. With our city's clay-rich soil, this becomes even more critical.

With these tips in mind, you can enjoy a lush, green lawn that’s perfect for outdoor activities, much like our beautiful City Park. Remember, a well-maintained lawn not only adds to the aesthetics of your property but also contributes to the overall appeal of our Kennedy neighborhoods.
