Spring in North Alabama arrives fast. One week it's cold, the next week your grass is growing and the azaleas are blooming. Here's a checklist of what your lawn needs in March and April to look its best all season.
Clear fallen branches, dead leaves, and accumulated debris from your lawn and beds. This lets sunlight and air reach the grass as it wakes up.
When your grass reaches 3–4 inches (usually late March or April), give it the first mow. Don't cut too short — let it ease into the growing season.
Redefine those crisp edges along driveways and sidewalks. Winter growth blurs the lines — spring edging makes everything look sharp again.
Add 2–3 inches of fresh mulch to flower beds. It suppresses weeds, retains moisture, and instantly improves curb appeal.
Prune back winter damage and shape shrubs that grew wild during dormancy. Wait until after azaleas bloom to trim those.
Walk your lawn and note any bare or thin areas. These may fill in naturally as the grass grows, or may need attention later in the season.
That's literally why we exist. Lindsey Lawn Plus handles spring cleanup, first mow, edging, mulch, and shrub trimming — everything on this checklist except checking for bare spots (that one's on you, but it only takes a 5-minute walk).
