## [Winter turf tips for the best lawn care on the south shore](https://blog.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-lawn-care/best-lawn-care-on-the-south-shore-ma)

# South shore lawn care

You may not notice the effects now but there are potential problems lurking in your turf system that can cause major eyesores in the spring.  Many homeowners on the south shore are familiar with summertime lawn fungus such as dollar spot and brown patch.  Maybe less familiar to some are fungal pathogens that thrive in winter conditions.  Snow mold is the most common of these winter fungi and can be classified as either gray or pink.  In our current cycle of snow falling and melting within weeks, pink snow mold is the most likely pathogen. Gray snow mold requires consistent snow cover of 70 days or more to survive.  In order to achieve the best [lawn care](http://burgessturf.com/lawn-care/) on the south shore, we begin thinking about the health of your lawn even in January.

## [How winter impacts lawn care in Massachusetts](https://blog.burgesspest.com/massachusetts-lawn-care/lawn-care-in-massachusetts)

Although your grass is dormant right now, there are many important factors that will affect your lawn care in Massachusetts immediately and in the spring. ![Massachusetts lawn care](https://blog.burgesspest.com/hs-fs/hub/460754/file-2676639610.jpg?width=320&name=file-2676639610.jpg "Massachusetts lawn care")

If you have heavy snow cover on your lawn, that snow is acting as an insulator protecting the turf system underneath.  The snow protects the grass from biting winds and extreme low temperatures.  Additionally, the insulation ensures that microbes in the soil and even earthworms can continue to work improving the health of the turf system.
