Here’s what our pros know – and what you need to know – about lawn care in Harper Woods:

Most Common Grass Types: Cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass, perennial ryegrass, fine fescue, and tall fescue are great options.

Best Time to Plant Grass: Late summer, between the middle of August and the end of September, is the best time to plant cool-season grass.

Spring Lawn Care Tips: Once the snow has melted and the ground has thawed, rake your lawn to loosen any dead leaf debris and remove snow mold. Tune up your mower’s engine and sharpen its blades. Reseed, apply an insecticide, and fertilize your lawn.

Summer Lawn Care Tips: Water your grass lightly and frequently; it needs 1.5 inches of water per week. Apply post-emergent weed control on a day that isn't too hot and there won't be any rain. Mow your grass weekly at about 3 inches, and leave the clippings on the grass. They return nutrients and nitrogen to the grass.

Fall Lawn Care Tips: To winterize your lawn, reseed any bare spots larger than a soccer ball. Continue mowing as long as the grass is growing. Fertilizing in September or October is smart. Compacted soil is very common, so aerate your lawn to improve oxygen and water movement.
