Spring is around the corner in Charleston — and what you do now determines how green and healthy your lawn will look in the coming months.

As temperatures begin to rise in the Lowcountry, your lawn starts waking up from winter dormancy. Early spring preparation is essential to ensure strong growth and prevent weeds from taking over.

Here’s how to properly prepare your lawn for spring in Charleston:

1️⃣ Apply Pre-Emergent Weed Control

Spring weeds begin germinating before you even notice them. Applying pre-emergent treatment now prevents crabgrass and other invasive species from spreading.

2️⃣ Fertilize at the Right Time

Once soil temperatures consistently warm up, a balanced fertilizer helps stimulate healthy root development and green growth.

3️⃣ Remove Winter Debris

Clear leaves, fallen branches, and leftover organic buildup that may block sunlight and trap moisture.

4️⃣ Inspect Your Irrigation System

Spring is the perfect time to test sprinkler heads, check for leaks, and ensure even coverage.

5️⃣ Schedule Professional Maintenance

A customized early-season lawn care plan ensures proper timing and prevents costly mistakes.
