How does snow damage a lawn?
However, he says that in certain instances, it can cause problems.
Frequent heavy snowfall can cause damage if snow becomes compacted, leading to snow mold or suffocating the grass.
This can result in bare patches and weaker growth in the spring.
If you must walk on it, stick to designated paths or specific areas.
