There are three things you should definitely NOT do with your lawn this spring. The first is you should not use a fast release nitrogen when fertilizing your grass this spring. I would recommend using a slow release fertilizer like Milorganite, Lesco, or The Andersons. Slow release fertilizer will help your lawn establish it's root system while also feeding on low amounts of fertilizer at a time.
The second mistake people makes with their lawns in the spring is not putting down their pre-emergent for crabgrass. I prefer using Prodiamine 65WDG because it is cost effective and you can getting better coverage when applying the pre-emergent with a backpack sprayer.
The last mistake is that many people hire an irrigation company to start up their irrigation system in the spring. I go over a step by step tutorial on how to start up your irrigation system in the spring.
