Your Essential Year-Round Lawn Care Calendar for Westchester, Yonkers & NYC

A lush, green lawn is more than just grass; it's an extension of your home, a place for relaxation and recreation, and a point of pride, especially here in the vibrant communities of Westchester County, Yonkers, and the surrounding New York City area. Achieving that picture-perfect turf in our unique climate, however, requires more than just occasional mowing.

A thriving lawn isn't a matter of luck; it's the result of a consistent, knowledgeable approach tailored to our specific seasonal cycles. That's where a reliable annual lawn care program comes in. For decades, Windy Farm Garden Center, established in 1985 and building on a legacy dating back to 1948 (Proposal), has been the trusted local partner for homeowners throughout Southern New York. We understand the nuances of growing beautiful lawns in this area. This guide provides a clear, actionable year-round lawn care calendar designed specifically for homeowners in Westchester, Yonkers, and NYC, helping you navigate the seasons and achieve the healthy, resilient lawn you desire.

Know Your NY Lawn: The Foundation for Success

Before diving into the seasonal tasks, understanding the basics of your lawn – the type of grass, the soil it grows in, and its specific needs – is crucial for success.

Common Grass Types in Our Area

Most lawns in our region consist of cool-season grasses, which thrive in the moderate temperatures of spring and fall but can struggle during summer heat.⁵ The most common types include:

• Kentucky Bluegrass (KBG): Often considered the standard for high-quality lawns, KBG offers a dense, attractive turf with good recovery capabilities due to its spreading rhizomes.⁵ It loves full sun and fertile, well-drained soil.⁵ However, it requires regular fertilization and consistent watering to avoid summer dormancy.⁵ It's generally not shade tolerant unless specific shade-adapted varieties are used.⁵
• Perennial Ryegrass: Known for its rapid germination and establishment, perennial ryegrass provides good wear tolerance, making it common in seed mixes.⁵ It performs best in full sun and requires moderate to high fertilization.⁷ It has poorer tolerance for shade and drought compared to fescues.⁷ In upstate NY, it's best used in mixes due to potential winter injury.⁸
• Fine Fescues (Creeping Red, Chewing, Hard): These are the champions of low-maintenance and shady lawns.⁷ They require less fertilizer and water and tolerate acidic soils well.⁷ Their fine texture creates an attractive turf, but they don't hold up well to heavy foot traffic.⁷
• Tall Fescue: Valued for its good heat and drought tolerance, tall fescue is another lower-maintenance option.⁷ Modern "turf-type" varieties offer a finer texture than older types.⁸ It has a bunch-type growth habit, meaning it doesn't spread aggressively and may require overseeding to fill in thin areas.⁷ It's best seeded alone (as a monostand) as it doesn't blend well visually with KBG or ryegrass.⁷ Note that it may struggle with harsh winters further north but performs well in our Zone 7.⁸

Sun vs. Shade Considerations

Most lawns have varying degrees of sun exposure. Choosing the right grass seed mix for specific areas is vital.⁷ Sunny areas benefit from blends dominated by Kentucky Bluegrass and Perennial Ryegrass, while shady spots require mixes rich in Fine Fescues.⁵ Using the wrong seed type will lead to weak growth and constant struggles.

The Importance of Healthy Soil & Testing

Healthy soil is the absolute bedrock of a thriving lawn. Grass needs the right conditions to establish strong roots and access essential nutrients. Key factors include:

• Soil pH: Grasses in our area prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil, ideally with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0.¹⁰ Within this range, nutrients are most readily available to the plants.¹⁰ Soil that is too acidic (pH below 6.0) or too alkaline (pH above 7.4) hinders growth.¹⁰
• Fertility: Lawns require essential nutrients, primarily Nitrogen (N) for green growth, Phosphorus (P) for root development, and Potassium (K) for overall health and stress tolerance.¹²

Since local soil conditions can vary significantly, regular soil testing (every 3-4 years) is highly recommended.⁹ A soil test provides precise information about your lawn's pH and existing nutrient levels (N, P, K). This is particularly important in New York State due to regulations restricting the use of phosphorus-containing fertilizers on established lawns unless a soil test specifically shows a deficiency.¹² Applying unnecessary phosphorus is not only wasteful and potentially harmful to plant growth ¹³, but it also contributes to water pollution in our local waterways.¹² Relying on generic fertilizer recommendations without knowing your soil's specific needs is inefficient and environmentally irresponsible.

Your Seasonal Lawn Care Playbook: A Month-by-Month Guide

Consistency is key. Following a schedule tailored to our local seasons ensures your lawn gets what it needs when it needs it.

3.1 Early Spring (Approx. March - Mid-April): Waking Up & Weed Prevention

As the snow melts and temperatures begin to rise, your lawn starts to awaken from dormancy. This period is crucial for cleanup, assessment, and, most importantly, preventing summer annual weeds like crabgrass.

• Cleanup: Gently rake away leaves, twigs, and any other debris accumulated over winter.⁹ Avoid heavy raking if the ground is still soggy to prevent damaging weak roots.¹⁰ Check for signs of snow mold (grayish or pinkish patches), often caused by prolonged snow cover, especially where snow was piled.¹¹ Also, inspect areas near driveways and sidewalks for potential salt damage.¹⁸
• Tool Prep: Get your equipment ready for the season. Sharpen lawn mower blades (dull blades tear grass, inviting disease) ¹¹, check and change the oil and air filter if needed, clean the mower deck, and ensure tires are properly inflated.¹¹ Make sure your fertilizer spreader is clean and functioning correctly.¹⁹
• Soil Testing & Liming: If you haven't tested your soil recently, early spring is an ideal time to collect samples.¹⁰ Based only on test results showing a pH below 6.0, apply limestone to raise the pH.⁹ Lime can be applied whenever the ground isn't frozen or the lawn isn't drought-stressed.⁹ Over-liming can be detrimental, so follow test recommendations precisely.¹⁰
• CRITICAL: Pre-Emergent Crabgrass Control: This is arguably the most time-sensitive task of spring. Pre-emergent herbicides work by creating a barrier that stops crabgrass seeds from successfully germinating.²¹ They must be applied before germination begins.
  • Timing is Everything: The optimal window in our area is typically mid-March to mid-April, varying slightly each year with the weather.⁹ The key indicators are when soil temperatures consistently reach 50-55°F at a 1-2 inch depth for several days ²¹, or phenologically, when forsythia shrubs are in full yellow bloom or just starting to fade.⁹ Applying too early risks the barrier degrading before germination; applying too late renders the product ineffective against seeds that have already sprouted.²¹ It's generally better to be slightly early than late.²¹ Online tools like GDDTracker can help monitor soil temperature trends.²⁴
  • Seeding Conflict: Most pre-emergents will also prevent desirable grass seed from germinating.²² Do not apply standard pre-emergents if you plan to seed or overseed within the next few months. If spring seeding is absolutely necessary, you may need to forgo pre-emergent in those areas (accepting more weed pressure) or use a specific product like Siduron (Tupersan) labeled safe for seeding.⁸ Some professionals use split applications (half rate early, half rate later) to extend control, which can be complex for homeowners.²¹
  • Application: Apply evenly according to product instructions and water it in as directed to activate the barrier.²¹
• Mowing: Begin mowing once the grass is actively growing and reaches about 3-4 inches tall. Set your mower to a high setting (3 inches or slightly more).⁹ Taller grass encourages deeper roots and helps shade out weed seeds.¹⁰ Never remove more than one-third of the grass blade height in a single mowing.¹¹ Leave the clippings on the lawn (grasscycling) to return valuable nutrients and organic matter, as long as they don't form thick clumps.⁸
• Fertilization (Use Caution): Fall fertilization is generally preferred for establishing strong roots.⁹ If spring feeding is desired or needed based on a soil test, wait until the grass is actively growing (usually mid-April or later) when soil temperatures are consistently above 55°F.¹³ Apply a slow-release, zero-phosphorus fertilizer (unless your soil test shows a P deficiency) at a rate of no more than 1 lb of Nitrogen per 1,000 sq ft.¹⁰ Some products combine pre-emergent herbicide with a light fertilizer dose.¹⁴
• Aeration/Overseeding (Generally Avoid): Spring is not the ideal time for core aeration or significant overseeding in our climate.¹⁰ New grass seedlings struggle with summer heat and drought, and opening the soil invites weed competition (especially if pre-emergent wasn't used).¹⁰ Only undertake these tasks in spring if dealing with severe compaction or large bare areas that cannot wait until fall.⁹ If you must seed, prepare the soil well, use quality seed suited for the location (sun/shade), and ensure consistent moisture for germination.⁷ Fall remains the superior time for these renovation tasks.¹⁰

Windy Farm carries a full range of spring lawn essentials, including effective pre-emergent herbicides (like Bonide, Jonathan Green) ²¹, phosphorus-free fertilizers suitable for NY lawns (from brands like Espoma, Jonathan Green, and Scotts variants) ¹³, lime ¹⁹, soil test kits, quality rakes, spreaders (Proposal), and offers professional aeration and seeding services if spring renovation is unavoidable (Proposal).

3.2 Late Spring (Approx. Mid-April - May): Growth & Spot Control

As temperatures warm reliably, grass growth accelerates. The focus shifts to managing this growth, addressing any weeds that slipped past the pre-emergent barrier, and preparing for the transition to summer.

• Mowing: Keep up with regular mowing, likely weekly, maintaining the high cut (3"+).¹¹ Remember the one-third rule and continue grasscycling.⁸
• Fertilization (Second Feeding - Optional): For lawns receiving higher maintenance or based on soil test recommendations, a second light feeding with a slow-release, P-free fertilizer can be applied around Memorial Day.⁹ This is typically 6-8 weeks after the first spring application if one was made.²⁰ Low-maintenance lawns generally do not need this feeding.⁹
• Weed Control (Post-Emergent): Now is the time to tackle broadleaf weeds like dandelions, clover, plantain, or ground ivy ³⁸ that may have emerged.
  • Spot Treatment: Hand-pulling is effective for scattered weeds, ensuring you remove the entire root.⁸ For larger patches, carefully spot-treat with a liquid post-emergent herbicide.⁸ Avoid blanket applications if possible.
  • Timing Preference: Remember that fall (September/October) is the most effective time for controlling persistent broadleaf weeds with herbicides.⁸ Spring treatments are secondary.
  • New Seedlings: Always check herbicide labels before applying to areas seeded this spring, as many products can harm young grass.¹⁰
• Pest & Disease Watch: Begin scouting for early signs of common lawn diseases favored by spring conditions, such as dollar spot, red thread, or leaf spot.⁵ Also, keep an eye out for insect pests. Chinch bugs can become active, causing small, yellowish patches.¹¹ Early treatment for chinch bugs in late spring/early summer can be beneficial.³⁹ Look for moths flying low over the lawn at dusk, which could indicate sod webworms.³⁹
• Watering: As temperatures rise, ensure your lawn receives adequate moisture – about 1 inch per week total from rainfall and irrigation.¹¹ Water deeply when the soil starts to dry, rather than light, frequent sprinklings.⁹ Early morning watering remains the best practice.⁹ Check your sprinkler system for leaks, proper coverage, and efficient operation.¹¹

Windy Farm offers slow-release, P-free fertilizers ²⁰, selective spot weed killers (including Bonide and organic options) ³⁷, and a range of insect and disease control products (Bonide, Captain Jack's, St. Gabriel Organics, Natria) (Proposal). Our staff can help diagnose issues, and we provide essential watering equipment like hoses, nozzles, sprinklers, and timers (Proposal). Windy Farm also offers professional irrigation system checks, repairs, and maintenance (Proposal).

3.3 Summer (June - August): Stress Management & Vigilance

Summer brings heat and potential drought, the primary stressors for cool-season lawns in our region. The focus shifts to survival tactics and vigilant monitoring for damaging pests, particularly grubs.

• Mowing: Maintain a high mowing height (3 inches or more).¹⁵ Taller grass blades shade the soil, reducing water evaporation and cooling the plant's crown.¹⁵ Taller grass also develops deeper roots, increasing drought tolerance.¹⁰ Mow as needed based on growth, but avoid mowing severely drought-stressed (wilting, bluish-gray) turf, as this adds further stress.⁹ Ensure mower blades remain sharp for clean cuts.¹¹
• Watering: This is critical. Lawns need approximately 1 to 1.5 inches of water per week during summer, factoring in rainfall.¹¹
  • Technique: Water deeply (to moisten the root zone several inches down) and infrequently (usually 1-2 times per week is sufficient if done deeply).⁹ This encourages deep root growth.⁸ Shallow, frequent watering leads to shallow roots prone to drying out.
  • Timing: Early morning (ideally 6 AM - 10 AM) is by far the best time.⁸ This minimizes water loss to evaporation ⁴² and allows foliage to dry before nightfall, reducing disease risk.¹⁵ Avoid midday watering (high evaporation) and evening watering (promotes fungal diseases).¹⁵
  • Dormancy Option: During extended heat and drought, allowing your cool-season lawn to go dormant (turn brown) is a water-conserving option.⁹ A dormant lawn isn't dead; it's conserving resources. It can typically survive for several weeks without significant rainfall, provided it receives about ¼ inch of water every 3 weeks.⁹ It will green up again when cooler temperatures and rain return, though some thinning and weed encroachment may occur, necessitating fall overseeding.⁹
• Fertilization: Do NOT fertilize cool-season lawns during the heat of summer.⁹ Grass under heat and drought stress cannot effectively utilize the nutrients, and fertilization can actually burn the lawn or encourage weak growth susceptible to disease. Wait for cooler fall temperatures. (Some specialized summer products exist, like Scotts Summerguard ²⁰, which often contain lower N, higher K, and possibly insect control, but standard fertilization should be avoided).
• Grub Control - The Main Event: Summer is prime time for grub activity and control. Understanding the timing is crucial for effectiveness.
  • Preventative Treatment (Early Summer: June - Mid/Late July): This is the ideal approach. Apply a preventative insecticide (containing ingredients like Imidacloprid or Acelepryn) during this window.³⁹ This targets the grubs (larvae of beetles like Japanese Beetles or European Chafers) just after they hatch from eggs laid by adult beetles, when they are small and most vulnerable.³⁹ Acelepryn is noted as being less harmful to pollinators like bees.⁴⁵ These products need to be watered in according to label directions to reach the root zone where grubs feed.⁴³
  • Curative Treatment (Late Summer/Early Fall: August - September): If you missed the preventative window or have a breakthrough infestation, you'll need a curative approach. This targets larger, actively feeding grubs that are now causing visible damage.⁹ Signs include irregular patches of yellowing or brown, dead grass that may feel spongy underfoot, and increased activity of animals like skunks, raccoons, or birds digging in the lawn to feed on the grubs.¹⁸ Use a curative insecticide (often containing Trichlorfon).⁴⁶ Treatment is generally less effective on larger, mature grubs.³⁹ A common threshold for treatment is finding more than 8-10 grubs per square foot when digging up a small section of turf.⁹ Beneficial nematodes can also be applied as a biological control option.¹⁸
• Other Pest & Disease Monitoring: Continue to watch for chinch bug damage, which often peaks in the heat of summer ⁴⁰, causing yellowish/brown patches often starting near pavement. Sod webworms may also be active.³⁹ Heat and humidity can encourage fungal diseases like brown patch, dollar spot, or pythium blight.⁷ Address dog urine spots promptly by flushing the area with water to dilute the nitrogen.¹⁸
• Weed Control: Continue to hand-pull any weeds that appear. Avoid applying most herbicides during extreme heat (above 85-90°F), as this can injure the already stressed turf. Always check product labels for temperature restrictions.

Windy Farm is your source for effective grub control solutions, offering both preventative and curative options from trusted brands like Bonide, as well as organic alternatives.⁴⁵ We also stock products for other summer pests and diseases (Proposal). Our team can help diagnose problems, and we have all the necessary watering supplies, including hoses, sprinklers, and timers (Proposal). If summer stress reveals weaknesses, consider our drought-tolerant seed mixes or inquire about our professional lawn maintenance services (Proposal).

3.4 Fall (September - Mid-November): The PRIME TIME for Lawn Health

Often underestimated, fall is the most crucial season for lawn care in our region. Cooler air temperatures combined with warm soil create ideal conditions for cool-season grass recovery and root growth, setting the stage for a healthier lawn next spring.

• OPTIMAL Aeration & Overseeding (Late August / Early September): If you do only one major renovation task all year, make it fall aeration and overseeding.⁷
  • Core Aeration: This process involves pulling small plugs of soil from the lawn.¹⁵ It's essential for relieving soil compaction caused by summer foot traffic, heavy rains, or clay soils.³³ Aeration allows critical air, water, and nutrients to penetrate deep into the root zone, encouraging stronger, deeper roots.¹⁵ It also helps break down thatch (a layer of dead organic matter above the soil).³³ Aerate when the soil is moist but not saturated.³³ Lawns with heavy clay soil or high traffic benefit from annual fall aeration; healthy lawns may only need it every 2-3 years.³³
  • Overseeding: Immediately follow aeration with overseeding.³⁴ Spreading high-quality grass seed over the existing lawn thickens turf density, fills in bare or thin patches resulting from summer stress or disease, and introduces improved, more resilient grass varieties.⁷ Choose a seed mix appropriate for your lawn's sun/shade conditions.⁵ Ensure good seed-to-soil contact by raking the seed lightly into the aeration holes and existing soil.⁷ Applying a thin layer (¼ - ½ inch) of quality compost or topsoil after seeding can improve germination.⁷ Use the correct seeding rate for your grass type (see table below).⁷ Consistent moisture is vital for germination; keep the seeded area moist with light, frequent watering until the new grass is established (usually 2-3 weeks), then gradually reduce frequency.⁷ Aim to complete seeding by early October for best results before winter.⁹

(Source: ⁷)

• Fertilization (Essential): Fall feeding is critical for recovery, root development, and storing energy for winter survival and spring green-up.
  • Early Fall Feeding (Around Labor Day / Early September): Apply a fall lawn fertilizer rich in Nitrogen (N) and Potassium (K).⁸ As always, use a slow-release, phosphorus-free formula unless your soil test indicates a P need.¹² This application helps the lawn recover from summer stress and fuels root growth.⁹
  • Late Fall "Winterizer" Feeding (Late October / Early November): A second application, 6-8 weeks after the first, provides nutrients that the grass stores over winter for an earlier, stronger green-up next spring.²⁰ Crucially, ensure this application occurs before the ground freezes and adheres to NYS and local regulations prohibiting fertilizer application after December 1st (or earlier in some counties like Nassau - Nov 15, Suffolk - Nov 1).⁹
• Weed Control (Best Timing): Fall (September and October) is the most effective time to control perennial broadleaf weeds like dandelion, clover, and ground ivy using herbicides.⁸ Weeds are actively transporting resources to their roots in the fall, making them more susceptible to systemic herbicides. Applying near the first frost can be particularly effective for some species.⁹ Improving turf density through fall overseeding is also a key long-term weed prevention strategy.⁹
• Leaf Management: Don't let fallen leaves smother your grass.¹⁵ Thick layers block sunlight and trap moisture, inviting disease. Rake leaves regularly for composting, or better yet, use a mulching mower to chop them into small pieces that decompose directly on the lawn, returning valuable organic matter and nutrients.⁹ Avoid blowing or raking leaves into streets or storm drains, as this contributes to water pollution.¹⁵
• Final Mowing: As grass growth slows significantly in late fall (late October/November), gradually lower your mower height for the last one or two cuts, finishing around 2-2.5 inches.¹⁵ This helps prevent the grass from matting down under snow and reduces the risk of snow mold diseases in the spring.¹⁵ Continue mowing as long as the grass is actively growing.⁹

Windy Farm Garden Center is fully stocked for fall lawn renovation. We offer professional aeration and overseeding services (Proposal), or you can find high-quality grass seed (including Jonathan Green blends) ⁷, topsoil and compost ⁷, and fall/winterizer fertilizers (from Espoma, Scotts, and others) ²⁰ for the DIYer. We also carry effective broadleaf weed controls (Proposal) and all the tools you need like rakes, mulching mowers, and leaf blowers (Proposal).

3.5 Winter (Late November - February): Rest & Preparation

While active lawn care pauses, winter is a time for protection and planning.

• Minimize Traffic: Dormant grass is vulnerable to damage. Avoid walking, parking vehicles, or placing heavy objects on the frozen or snow-covered lawn whenever possible.²⁰ Compacted snow or ice can suffocate the grass.
• Salt Use Awareness: De-icing salts used on driveways and walkways can severely damage adjacent turf.¹⁸ Rock salt (sodium chloride) is particularly harmful. If ice melt is necessary near the lawn, opt for products considered safer for plants, such as those containing calcium chloride or magnesium chloride, and use them sparingly.²⁰ Consider using sand for traction.
• Tool Maintenance: Winter is the perfect time to perform annual maintenance on your lawn equipment. Clean mowers, spreaders, and other tools thoroughly before storage.¹¹ Drain fuel from gasoline engines to prevent carburetor problems.¹¹ Sharpen mower blades so you're ready for the first cut of spring.¹⁵
• Plan Ahead: Reflect on your lawn's performance over the past season.²⁰ Were there persistent weed issues? Grub damage? Areas that thinned out excessively? Use the winter months to research solutions and plan your strategy for the upcoming year. Decide which fertilizers, control products, or seed types you'll need, allowing you to purchase them early before the spring rush.
• Regulatory Reminder: Remember the strict fertilizer blackout period in New York State from December 1st to April 1st.⁹ No lawn fertilizer applications are permitted during this time.

Even in winter, Windy Farm Garden Center is here to help. Visit us to plan for spring, browse tools and supplies, or get expert advice (Proposal). We also offer propane refills for snow blowers and other winter equipment (Proposal) and provide professional snow plowing services (Proposal).
