4 spring tips for a greener lawn. Spring scalping warm season grass is the first step to a successful lawn care season. My opinion, this is one of the worst parts of managing zoysia. However, once you get through this period, the rest of the year is a breeze.

Common questions:
1. Why scalp?
A. Resets your hoc slightly lower than what you plan to cut for the year to help hide the brown.
A. Opens up the canopy to allow sunlight and heat to reach the soil surface which helps the Zoysia to green up quicker.

2. How low should I scalp?
A. At least below the hoc you intend to maintain, but as low as to the dirt if you like. Burning it is even an option.

3. When should you scalp?
A. A few weeks before your yard would be green, after the last frost, and as soon as you see a trend up in temperatures.

These 4 spring tips for a greener lawn will trick will help your Zoysia to green up quicker in the spring and stay healthier throughout the season.It also resets the height of your turf and sets up your maintenance height of cut for the upcoming growing season.
