Spring is the perfect time to give your lawn a fresh start after the cold months. In Nampa, late March through May is when the grass starts actively growing again.

• Clean up winter debris – Remove leaves, sticks, and other buildup that can block sunlight.
• Aerate compacted soil – Let water, air, and nutrients reach the roots.
• Apply pre-emergent weed control – Stop weeds before they sprout.
• Fertilize – Feed your lawn to encourage strong spring growth.
• Tune up your sprinkler system – Make sure everything is working before the summer heat.

Hot, dry summers in Idaho can stress your lawn if it’s not cared for properly.

• Mow at the right height – Keep grass around 3 inches to protect roots from heat.
• Water deeply, not often – Early morning is best to avoid evaporation.
• Control weeds – Spot-treat any that sneak in.
• Inspect sprinklers – Adjust for full coverage and no overspray.

Fall is about recovery and preparation for winter. In Nampa, September through November is ideal for these tasks:

• Aerate again – Relieve summer compaction and improve root health.
• Fertilize for winter – A final feeding helps grass store nutrients.
• Overseed thin spots – Fill in bare areas for a thicker lawn next spring.
• Leaf removal – Prevent mold, disease, and pest issues.

Winter lawn care in Nampa is simple but important:

• Limit foot traffic – Avoid walking on frozen grass.
• Clear debris promptly – Heavy snow can hide branches and damage turf.
• Plan for spring – Schedule your aeration, fertilization, and cleanups early.

Following a seasonal lawn care checklist keeps your yard healthy, prevents costly problems, and ensures it always looks its best. Small, timely actions — like fertilizing at the right time or clearing debris before it causes damage — can make a big difference in your lawn’s appearance and durability.
