I’m Monty, your friendly lawn care expert from Mountfield, and I’m here to help you keep your grass green, lush, and envy-worthy. While January might seem quiet on the lawn care front, there are still a few important tasks to keep things in tip-top shape.
Monty’s Lawn Tips for January
1. Keep off the grass: If there’s frost or snow on the ground, it’s best to avoid walking on your lawn. Foot traffic can damage the grass blades, causing unsightly patches when the weather warms up.
2. Clear debris: Fallen leaves, twigs, and other debris can block light and air from reaching your grass. Grab a rake on a dry day and clear the clutter.
3. Maintain your mower: January is a fantastic time to give your Mountfield lawnmower a bit of TLC. Clean out old clippings, check the spark plug, and make sure the blades are sharp and ready for spring. If you haven't already done so, now is the time to book your mower in for its winter service - find your local Mountfield service dealer
4. Plan ahead: Think about what you want from your lawn this year. Dreaming of thick, velvety turf? Maybe a wildflower patch? Now’s the time to plot your grassy goals.
Monty’s Top Tip for January
Keep an eye out for waterlogging. If parts of your lawn are prone to getting soggy, consider improving drainage by aerating those spots in the spring.
