Utah’s spring season is short—and your lawn only gets one chance to start strong. If you live in Eagle Mountain, prepping your yard now can mean the difference between a patchy, weed-filled lawn and a healthy, green space you’re proud of.
At Saratoga Mowing, we help homeowners get ahead with professional spring cleanup, sprinkler startup, and weekly mowing services designed for Utah lawns.
Let’s dig into what your lawn really needs this spring.
1. Clear the Winter Debris
Winter leaves behind more than just snow. Fallen branches, matted grass, and dead leaves can smother your lawn and create breeding grounds for pests and disease.
What to do:
- Rake up debris from your lawn and flower beds
- Prune back damaged shrubs and trees
- Edge along sidewalks and garden borders for a clean look
Not sure where to start? Our Spring Cleanup service handles it all—from debris removal to bed prep.
2. Start the Season with Sharp Mower Blades
Dull mower blades tear grass, leaving it brown and stressed. Starting the season with properly sharpened blades gives your lawn a clean, healthy cut.
Expert tip:
Mow only the top third of the grass and switch directions weekly to prevent soil compaction and uneven wear.
Or, leave the mowing to us! Our weekly mowing service keeps your grass at the ideal height for thick, green growth.
3. Wake Up Your Irrigation System
In Eagle Mountain’s dry climate, watering deeply and consistently is crucial. But turning on your sprinkler system too early—or without checking for damage—can lead to wasted water and weak coverage.
What we recommend:
- Test zones for pressure, leaks, and coverage
- Adjust sprinkler heads to avoid hardscapes
- Set your timer based on sun exposure and soil type
Our sprinkler startup service ensures everything’s working before your lawn needs it most.
4. Feed Your Lawn Wisely
Early spring is the time to apply a slow-release fertilizer that supports root development. Avoid over-fertilizing—especially if you missed fall treatments—since it can cause burning or excessive top growth.
Pro tip: Pair fertilizing with aeration for better absorption and root growth. We can help you schedule both for optimal timing.
5. Stay Ahead of Weeds
Spring weeds like crabgrass and dandelions can take over quickly if not addressed early. Pre-emergent herbicides prevent seeds from sprouting, while post-emergent options knock out any that pop up.
A healthy, thick lawn is your best defense against weeds—and that starts with proper mowing and irrigation.
