If you do this right then you will be rewarded with an amazing yard that you are happy to come home to. There have been several studies that prove that having a beautiful lawn is soothing to the mind and can help lessen things like depression while boosting happiness. However, most people are unaware of every component that goes into spring lawn care. This results in them not achieving the best looking lawn possible.

Important Components of Spring Lawn Care
Tree Pruning
Cutting Grass
Planting Assorted Plants
Removing Toxic Weeds
Tree Pruning
The first thing that you will want to do is prune all of the trees in your yard that can be pruned. Obviously, some trees are too tall in order to be pruned. The good news for those trees is that higher unreachable branches do not cause a reduction in cosmetic appeal and actually add to it.
Cutting Grass
This is the obvious basic component on this list. However, many people go about the process wrong. When moving grass you will want to choose the setting on your lawn mower that results in the lowest cut of grass. This will result in greener and healthier grass.
Planting Assorted Plants
There is no question that beautiful plants add a whole new dimension to your lawn. It is recommended that you pick out a few beautiful plants and plant them in appropriate places. Plants that grow tall, green, and large are ideal for producing a high cosmetic appeal.
Removing Toxic Weeds
Removing weeds is essential to lawn maintenance and care. By picking weeds in the spring time you are able to get the toxic weeds out quickly and prevent them from infesting your yard as they rapidly reproduce. When picking weeds make sure that you pull out the root of the plant as well as the visible above ground part.
