Help the snow melts quickly

Help the snow melt by spreading the piles and removing it from the shady areas. This keeps snow molds from developing as the ground thaws.

Let the soil dry out before beginning your spring lawn care. Foot traffic on wet soils may cause soil compaction problems. If you get too aggressive with raking, mowing or aerating you risk damaging fragile new growth and giving early germinating weeds the jump on your lawn grass. Wait until your grass is actively growing.
