Start lawn care in Colorado Springs when soil temperatures reach 50°F, typically in early April. Begin with a spring lawn cleanup, removing debris and dead grass. Apply first fertilizer application when grass starts actively growing. Adjust mowing height to 2.5-3 inches for cool-season grasses common in the area.

Cool-season grasses like Kentucky Bluegrass, Fine Fescue, and Tall Fescue grow well in Colorado Springs. These grasses handle temperature swings and altitude well. For shaded areas, Fine Fescue is best. For high-traffic areas, Tall Fescue provides good durability.

The best time to aerate in Colorado Springs is early fall (September to early October) when cool-season grasses are in their prime growing period. Spring (April-May) can also work but avoid aerating during summer heat or winter dormancy. Core aeration works best when soil is moist but not waterlogged.

Mow Colorado Springs lawns every 5-7 days during peak growing season (spring/fall) and every 7-10 days in summer. Keep grass height between 2.5-3 inches and never remove more than 1/3 of the blade length in a single mowing. Mow less frequently during drought or heat stress periods.

A custom lawn care program for Colorado Springs should include 4-5 fertilizer applications from April to October, spot-treating weeds as needed, and proper watering adjusted for altitude and climate. Sunday's personalized plans account for local conditions and provide nutrients when your lawn needs them most.
