- Get ready for regular mowing. Your lawn will grow more rapidly in spring. Set the mower blades high for the first cutting; gradually reducing height with each mow.
- Add compost into ground covers and feed lightly with a complete fertilizer to encourage the rooting of runner stems. Brush and scatter wormcasts.
- Dethatch, edge and weed as needed. Check edges for repair where soil has fallen against the lawn.
- Clip back established ground covers to encourage dense growth.
- Rake up bare spots to expose the soil for reseeding.
