Watching the grass slowly green up has me thinking about spring cleanups. Curious about the pros and cons of spring cleanups for your lawn? while here are a few.
Pros
Spring cleanups remove excess debris from the lawn that might choke out your grass while it tries to green up, resulting in dead spots or mold/disease.
Improves curb appeal, especially in North Idaho. Winter can lead to all kinds of fun surprises under the snow, whether sticks, moles, or any other kind of pest, and a good thorough spring cleanup removes those.
Cons
High cost: a well-done spring cleanup can be expensive depending on the size of your lawn and what it needs to be ready for spring/summer.
Potential for environmental impact: Many bugs and critters, like the humble bumble bee, love to sleep in decomposing leaves or wood over winter and wait for warmer spring temperatures to emerge. This means that it is possible to disturb these bugs and critters before they are ready to leave their winter home.
