Spring Lawn Care Checklist for Ohio Homeowners
Your Spring Lawn Care Checklist
A True Partnership with Ziehler Lawn Care
Spring is where great lawns begin. After months of cold temperatures, snow, and dormancy, your grass needs the right start to thrive through the growing season. When homeowners and our Z-Team work together, your lawn doesn’t just grow… it thrives.
Here`s how that partnership works:
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Your Part: Simple Spring Steps That Make a Big Impact
☐ Clear Winter Debris
Remove leaves and sticks so sunlight, airflow, and nutrients can reach the soil. A clean lawn responds better to early spring applications.
☐ Prep Your Mower
Make sure your mower is properly maintained, including a seasonal oil change, tune-up, and most importantly sharp blades. Starting the year with a dull mower blade can tear the grass instead of cutting it cleanly, leaving your lawn more vulnerable to disease and insects.
☐ Mow Smart
Set your mower height to 2.5–3 inches for the first mow of the season, then maintain 3–4 inches throughout the growing season. Proper Mowing heights support deeper roots and thicker turf.
☐ Watch for Thin or Bare Areas
Take note of spots that struggled last year. When you communicate these areas to us, we can tailor solutions at the right time for a better recovery.
☐ Limit Traffic on Wet Turf
Spring soil compacts easily. Avoid heavy foot traffic or equipment when the ground is soggy to protect developing roots.
Your consistency at home protects and maximizes the professional care we provide.

Frequently Asked Questions about Spring Lawn Care
Q: When should spring lawn treatments begin?
Early Spring applications are critical. Proper timing helps target weeds before they emerge and encourages early root development before summer stress begins.
Q: Why is mowing height so important?
Mowing too short stresses the grass and weakens roots. Maintaining 3–4 inches promote deeper rooting and thicker turf.
Q: Can homeowner care really make a difference?
Absolutely. Proper mowing, debris removal, and limiting traffic on wet turf help protect the progress made through our professional lawn treatments.
