A season-by-season lawn plan for Newtown yards
The Newtown lawn year
- Spring: cleanup, first mow, weed prevention timing.
- Early summer: weekly mowing at a tall height.
- Mid-summer: less mowing in drought, watch for grubs.
- Late summer–fall: aerate and overseed, the most important lawn window.
- Late fall: leaf removal and final cut.
Small lot vs. big lot
Small borough lawns may need push mowers and hand trimming. Big township lawns benefit from wider mowers and planned aeration.
Common fixes
Bare spots: fall seeding. Weeds: thicker grass plus targeted control. Wet soil near Newtown Creek: drainage first.
