Spring has officially sprung, and that cleaning to-do list isn't going to take care of itself. Lowe's is the go-to destination for everything you need to wipe away winter and get your lawn back into shape. We went straight to spring season pro - Gary McCoy, store manager in Charlotte, NC. He's weathered many winter warm-ups at Lowe's and knows the best ways to take your lawn to the next level!  

Gary's Spring Readiness Tips

 

  1. First, get ready for green while going green with an Ego pressure washer. The new electric Ego pressure washer will power away winter stains with the ease of a button! PRO tip for one-and-done days: Use with a 30-second outdoor cleaner as a pre-wash AFTER the pollen has landed and moved through the area.  
     
  2. Prep those planting beds for mulch (Lowe's knows mulch; we sold enough bags of the Premium Color Mulch to circle the globe!) and plants with a rake, leaf blower, and preen. If planting, it's a great time to turn the soil and add amendments to help your garden grow.
     
  3. Plan out your plants! Our plant tags and plant-together coding will allow you to build the best and most beautiful garden on the block.
     
  4. Start weeding and feeding during the cooler spring months to give your lawn a leg up on the friendly neighborhood competition. Try Scotts Triple Action to give your grounds a BOOST before the heat.  

Happy planting!
