The Augusta National Golf Club is just as famous for its impeccably maintained turf as it is for its green jackets.

1. Choose Grass That Thrives in Nebraska
While Augusta’s fairways feature Bermuda grass and creeping bentgrass, those varieties don’t thrive in our climate. In Omaha, a mix of fescue, ryegrass, and Kentucky bluegrass performs best throughout the seasons and creates a lush, resilient lawn.
👉 Homeowner Tip: Stay consistent with lawn treatments for championship-level results. A little planning now saves a lot of rework later.
2. Time Aeration and Weed Control Right
Spring is a crucial window for lawn health. Aeration and overseeding are best saved for fall, but this is the season to apply pre-emergent weed control to block crabgrass, dandelions, and other invasive weeds before they sprout.
Preen brand products have proven highly effective in prevent weeds from germinating in flower beds and is safe for vegetable gardens.
🧠 Brian’s Tip:
If you’re thinking of listing later this year, take photos of your yard now — spring color helps listings stand out, even in fall.
3. Fill Bare Spots Like the Pros
At Augusta, divots are resodded daily to keep turf tournament-ready. You don’t need a grounds crew to fix patchy spots — just use a DIY blend of sand, loamy soil, nitrogen-rich fertilizer, and matching grass seed. Water well until growth takes hold.
🧽 Final Touch
Don’t forget the finishing moves. Clean up your walkways and power wash your siding for that fresh, move-in-ready look. Better yet, hire a pro so you can sit back and enjoy the results.
Final Thoughts
You don’t need a golf course budget to make your yard look sharp. With a few strategic updates — inspired by the pros — your lawn can be a real standout this spring.
