What Landscapers Should Know
Dormant grass often looks unhealthy, but it’s a natural survival mechanism. Understanding dormancy helps landscapers make better care decisions.
What Causes Dormancy
Cold temperatures and reduced sunlight slow growth. Grass conserves energy in its roots until conditions improve.

Limit foot traffic, avoid heavy equipment, and keep lawns clear of debris. These steps prevent permanent damage.
Why Winter Care Still Matters
Proper winter fertilization and soil protection ensure quicker recovery in spring.
