Planning Ahead for the Best Lawn in 2025

7007325087 • December 5, 2024

As the year winds down, it’s time to set your sights on achieving the lush, green lawn of your dreams for 2025. Proper planning and budgeting now can save you headaches (and dollars) later. At Archway Lawncare, we specialize in creating and maintaining beautiful lawns, and we’ve laid out a guide to help you prepare for a thriving yard in the new year. 

Start Fertilization Early

In Missouri, fertilization can start as early as February. Cool-season grasses benefit from a jumpstart during the late winter to early spring transition. Fertilization in February delivers essential nutrients to the roots, fostering early growth and helping your lawn withstand the stress of summer heat. 

Archway’s
six-step fertilization program is designed to meet your lawn’s needs throughout the year: 



This tailored program keeps your lawn vibrant and weed free year-round. 

Budgeting for Lawn Care in 2025

A healthy lawn isn’t just a dream—it’s an investment. To ensure your lawn remains the envy of the neighborhood, consider budgeting for these key services: 


  1. Irrigation System: Proper watering is essential, and your irrigation system needs to be operational as soon as the growing season begins. Running an irrigation system in early spring ensures consistent hydration for your lawn. 
  2. Weekly Mowing (March/April Onward): Missouri’s unpredictable weather means mowing season can start as early as March. Regular mowing keeps your lawn looking tidy and prevents weeds from seeding. 
  3. Landscaping Projects:  Whether it’s adding new flower beds, installing concrete curbing, or refreshing your mulch, landscaping projects improve both the appearance and functionality of your property. 
  4. Aeration: Often overlooked, aeration is critical to your lawn’s health. 

Why Aeration is a Must

Aeration is a simple but powerful way to rejuvenate your lawn. By removing small plugs of soil, aeration reduces compaction and allows air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots more effectively. Benefits include: 

  • Enhanced nutrient uptake: Fertilizer penetrates more deeply into the soil. 
  • Improved water absorption: Aeration reduces runoff and ensures even hydration. 
  • Stronger root systems: Roots grow deeper and healthier, making the grass more resilient. 
  • Weed prevention: Thick, healthy grass is less likely to be overtaken by weeds. 


We recommend
aerating your lawn in the fall to allow for proper recovery before the next growing season. Pairing aeration with over-seeding can further improve your lawn’s density and appearance.
