Lawn Area Care
Monthly care calendar
Timings are for a temperate Northern Hemisphere climate. In warmer areas tasks start earlier, in colder areas later; in the Southern Hemisphere shift them by six months.
- General care: Mark heavily used pathways, spots where water pools after irrigation, and spongy surfaces. Compare how easily a thin probe penetrates the soil with a similar healthy area; if the lawn species is not actively growing, do not plan aeration. Skip if: the soil is saturated or frozen, or the lawn species is in its resting period.
