See for Yourself: 4 Ways to Winter-EYES Your Lawn This Season

Changes in climate for the upcoming winter season are a great reminder that we should change the way we take care of our yards to better endure colder temperatures.

Here are 4 easy ways our Xtreme Green Grass Alabama Xperts suggest for "winterizing" your lawn in a snap:

1. Conduct a soil test to check the current condition of your grass.
If your soil appears to have adequate levels of potassium, your grass should be in good shape to brave the brisk weather throughout the next few months.

2. Determine weather your lawn is comprised of warm-season or cool-season grass.
For cool-season grass, consider purchasing a "winterizer" or other type of fertilizer that both nitrogen and potassium. For warm-season grass, you may want to hold off until later in the spring to actually fertilize and feed your lawn with a combination of balanced nutrients.

3. For winterizing on a dime, give organic lawn practices a try.
Organic lawn practices include landscaping methods such as:
- top dressing
- mulch mowing
- core aeration
- slow-release organic fertilizers

These types of winterizing solutions help to enrich your soil, resulting in a healthier lawn that requires minimal upkeep.

4. Have your lawn painted by our Xtreme Green Grass Xperts.
Harsh weather conditions like freezing temperatures or lack of rain no longer have to affect the appearance of your outdoors, because Xtreme Green Grass lawn painting can help your foliage maintain that fresh look any time of year...especially during the winter!
