We know you’re probably itching to get outside and bring your lawn back to its former glory. Your first mow of the season is a great place to start.

Before you fire up the mower, clear away any leftover winter debris and hold off if the lawn is still soggy. When it is time to mow, try not to cut it too short. Keeping cool-season turf around 2.5 to 3.5 inches helps support a healthier lawn as spring gets underway.

We’ll be sharing more lawn care tips throughout April for National Lawn Care Month. 🌱

If geese keep taking over your lawn, common area, or pond edge, you know how quickly the mess can build up. Constant droppings, worn grass, and aggressive behavior during nesting season can make outdoor spaces a lot less usable.

Aspen Tree and Turf now offers professional goose control treatments for residential and commercial properties. Our program uses a turf-applied repellent to make treated grass less attractive to feeding geese, helping reduce repeat activity over time.

This service is a great fit for lawns, HOA and condo common areas, office parks, athletic fields, and pond-edge turf where geese tend to return again and again.

If geese are making your property harder to enjoy, Aspen Tree and Turf can help.

Since April is National Lawn Care Month, we're featuring a grass that's a classic in New Jersey lawns: Kentucky bluegrass.

Known for its rich color and dense, traditional look, Kentucky bluegrass is one of the cool-season turfgrasses that helps create the kind of lawn many homeowners picture this time of year. It tends to do especially well in sunny areas and is valued for its ability to spread and fill in over time, which helps it recover and create a more uniform look.

Like any lawn, though, success depends on more than just the grass type. Sun exposure, soil conditions, maintenance, and timing all play a role in how a lawn performs through the season.

In honor of National Lawn Care Month, we'll be sharing more lawn care tips and turf-focused information throughout April. As always, if your property needs support this season, Aspen Tree and Turf is here to help. 🌱

Not all brown grass in early spring is thatch. A lot of what looks dead is just last season’s growth still hanging around after winter.

Thatch is different. It’s a built-up layer between the grass and the soil, made up of old stems, roots, and organic debris. When it gets too thick, it can make it harder for water, air, and nutrients to reach the root zone.

Before you start raking hard, wait until the lawn is actively growing and the soil isn’t soggy. Want to check for thatch? Pull up a small plug of turf. If that spongy layer is more than about 1/2 inch thick, it may be time to address it.

Not sure what you’re seeing in your lawn? Aspen Tree and Turf can help you figure out what’s normal, what needs attention, and what care makes sense this season. 🌱

If your lawn looks matted, patchy, or covered in grayish webbing after snow melts, you may be seeing snow mold.

This common late winter and early spring lawn issue can show up after snow cover or extended cool, wet weather in New Jersey. The good news is that it usually grows out on its own as conditions dry out and the lawn wakes back up.

A light raking can help, and it's best to avoid walking on soggy areas. If patches stick around, those spots may need some extra help later in the spring.

Think it might be snow mold? Aspen Tree and Turf can take a look. 🔍
