This article is a little dated but great info on how to kickstart your lawn in the spring. Healthy lawns and lawn management are beneficial in working hand in hand to prevent as many pests(bugs) as possible. Some simple tips to help also include: no tall grasses if practical, no standing water(old tires, bins or anything around buildings and the yard that will hold stationary water), no rotting wood(old garden fences, flower beds with old wood chips, downed logs, old firewood) and no leaves or leaf piles(these are the worst for ticks to hide under).
Spring has sprung and with temperatures forecast to warm considerably in the next week, many do-it yourselfers or those simply looking for something to do outside their home will be venturing out into their lawns.
