Hello Everyone,
A few more tips for the health of the lawn during the winter months. Although the lawn is obviously dormant all the nutrients and health of the lawn are still intact and waiting for Spring.
Snow melt can be hazardous to the lawn so completely removing snow from the lawn or moving enough far enough off of the lawn will help ensure that there is no thaw to re-freeze back on to the driveway. You can read a previous post that gives a natural alternative to the salt melt.
The salt also takes away nutrients that are sitting in the root system so if you use snow melt try to keep away from borders of the lawn and use sparingly. It is actually recommended by some places to use snow melt only if temperatures are below freezing. There are other products that are recommended to use in extreme temperatures that are salt- less. Plastic barriers, walls or putting water on areas when the temperature is 40 degrees Fahrenheit or warmer is also recommended to help sensitive plants and the lawn.
Hope everyone is well. Today was a beautiful Colorado day and the sunset was breathtaking. See our Facebook for a picture of the sunset we saw from Erbert Lawns.
