January Lawn Care Tips – January Lawn Care in Tracy and Mountain House, California: Start the Year Strong

January is a great month to reset your lawn care routine in Tracy and Mountain House, California. Our winters are mild, but cool, damp weather can still stress your lawn.

Give your yard a quick walk-through. Remove fallen leaves, branches, and debris so the grass can breathe and you can spot thin or damaged areas that may need attention in spring.

Winter weeds and moss often pop up now. Spot-treat weeds before they spread and watch shady, damp areas for moss, which can signal compaction or drainage issues.

For Bermuda lawns

• Bermuda is mostly dormant now and may look brown or tan—that’s normal.

• Focus on weed control and clean-up, not growth. Avoid fertilizing until it warms up.

For Fescue lawns

• Fescue stays greener in winter, so keep it looking tidy with an occasional light mow if needed.

• This is a good time to watch for disease in damp, shaded areas and plan spring aeration if the soil feels hard.
