A healthy, lush lawn requires consistent care throughout the entire year. Every season has different needs: from soil preparation in spring, to protecting the lawn from summer heat, and finally autumn overseeding and winter maintenance.
By following this yearly lawn care calendar, you can keep your lawn strong, green, and resilient in every season.
Winter (January – February)
Winter is the ideal time to plan the upcoming lawn season and prepare the soil for healthy growth.
Soil Analysis
During January and February, it is recommended to perform a soil analysis to check:
pH level
Nutrient availability
Possible soil deficiencies
The ideal pH value for a healthy lawn is between 5.5 and 6.0.
Annual Lawn Planning
This is also the perfect time to organize:
Seasonal fertilization
Overseeding projects
Scarifying and aeration work
Equipment maintenance
Spring (March – May)
Spring is the season when the lawn starts growing actively again. The grass needs oxygen, nutrients, and proper soil preparation.
March – Lawn Regeneration
Apply Revive
Spread Revive evenly across the entire lawn surface to improve and stabilize the soil.
Wait approximately 1 week, then proceed with fertilization.
Spring Fertilization
Apply an organic lawn fertilizer to promote:
Strong growth
Deep green color
Healthy root development
First Lawn Mowing
Once the grass begins growing again:
Perform the first mowing
Avoid cutting the grass too short
Scarifying and Aeration
During spring, it is important to:
Remove thatch and debris
Improve air and water circulation
After scarifying:
Apply Aerator evenly across the entire lawn
Summer (June – August)
Summer is the most stressful period for the lawn. Heat and drought can quickly weaken the grass if not managed properly.
Protection Against Summer Stress
Apply Stressmanager
Spread Stressmanager across the entire lawn to help protect against:
High temperatures
Drought
Heat stress
Proper Watering
During summer, correct watering is essential.
Main watering rules:
Always water in the morning
Avoid nighttime watering
Provide up to 40 l/m² per week
Water 3–4 times per week
Summer Mowing
During hot weather:
Do not mow the lawn too short
Recommended mowing height: approximately 6 cm
Slightly taller grass helps protect the soil from evaporation and heat stress.
Summer Fertilization
Apply:
Marathon Fertilizer
orPremium Summer Fertilizer
to keep the lawn strong and green during the hottest months.
Autumn (September – November)
Autumn is the most important season for restoring and strengthening the lawn after summer.
September – Best Time for Overseeding
September is considered the ideal time to:
Overseed damaged areas
Thicken the lawn
Repair thin or patchy spots
Soil Preparation
Aerate the lawn
Remove thatch and debris
Apply Aerator
Water thoroughly for approximately 15 minutes
Overseeding / Repairing Bare Spots
Seeding
Use lawn seed varieties such as:
Champion
Express
Turbo
Spread the seed evenly over the affected areas.
Covering the Seed
Lightly cover the seed with soil or work it gently into the ground.
Starter Fertilizer
Apply Starter Fertilizer to support:
Fast germination
Root development
Even growth
Watering Newly Seeded Areas
For the first 3–5 weeks:
Keep the soil consistently moist
Water 1–3 times daily
Provide up to 40 l/m² per week
Germination typically occurs within approximately 21 days.
After germination:
Fertilize with Marathon Fertilizer
orPremium Autumn Fertilizer
and water thoroughly for approximately 15 minutes.
Autumn Maintenance
Between October and November:
Apply Aerator again
Use Stressmanager
Regularly remove fallen leaves
End of Year (December)
December is dedicated to soil stabilization and equipment maintenance.
Soil Stabilization
Apply:
Revive
to improve soil structure during the winter period.
Equipment Maintenance
Use the off-season to:

Service and maintain the lawn mower
Sharpen mower blades
Pro Tips for a Perfect Lawn
Always Water in the Morning
Morning watering helps reduce:
Evaporation
Risk of fungal diseases
Lawn stress
Robotic Lawn Mowers Are the Gentlest Option
Frequent and light mowing helps:
Keep the lawn denser
Reduce stress on the grass
Improve the overall appearance of the lawn
Maintain a pH Between 5.5 and 6.0
A proper pH level allows the lawn to absorb nutrients efficiently and grow healthily.
