Power Raking should be done before lawn greens up in late March or early April.  Wait to fertilize your lawn until after you power raked.

Lawn Repair from Seed is best around April 15, due to soil temperatures required to germinate the grass seed and ability to water the grass seed with your sprinkler systems on a special watering schedule.   Water is most important for proper grass seed germination and to protect the new grass plants from hot spring days.

Note: Do Not Use Crabgrass Control Preventer Products in April when you over-seed your lawn.  If you have applied a Crabgrass product you must wait till Mid may to over-seed.

Compost Top Dressing doubles the success rate for grass seed germination; adds a moisture holding layer to keep the grass seed from drying out and dying; and builds your soil with organic matter and nutrients to support the new grass plants.
