Keep your lawn safe in the winter

Given Northern Kentucky's winters and the extreme cold we are experiencing this winter, here are some tips for keeping your lawn happy:
1. Minimize Foot Traffic:
- Importance: Walking on frozen or snow-covered grass can damage the crown of the grass plant.
- Action: Avoid walking on your lawn when it's frozen or covered in snow whenever possible.
2. Snow Mold Prevention:
- Importance: Snow mold thrives in prolonged periods of snow cover.
- Action: Rake away heavy snow accumulations to improve air circulation.
3. Avoid De-icing Salts:
- Importance: De-icing salts can damage your lawn.
- Action: Use salt sparingly and avoid applying it directly to the grass.
4. Consider a Winter Cover (Optional):
- Importance: In some cases, a winter cover can protect your lawn from harsh winter conditions.
- Action: Consult with a lawn care professional to determine if a winter cover is appropriate for your lawn.
