As we look forward to the end of winter, it's time to put extra care into your lawn to ensure it looks lush and vibrant.

ITV's This Morning guru Daisy Payne has dished out essential tips for getting your lawn spring-ready this spring. Highlighting key actions for gardeners this month, Payne offered some reassurance and guidance for revitalising your green space.

As reports , she explained: "Don't be worried if your lawn looks a little bit rubbish at this time of year. It kind of goes to sleep over winter, and it's probably, well, with all the rain I had yesterday, it's starting to look a little bit sad."

"Grab a lightweight rake and gently rake your lawn. This is called aerating it, and it helps bring it back to life in time for spring."

"It just helps to stimulate a bit of growth and it also helps to get rid of things that are sitting on top of your lawn that are stopping the light getting to it."

Aerating isn't just beneficial for your grass's absorption of water but also keeps it from getting waterlogged. And for those high-traffic lawns, airing them out can work wonders.

Facing a moss invasion? Opt for a targeted product to banish it and keep an eye peeled for potential fungal issues, which could sometimes be countered with lawn food.

Daisy further advised: "As soon as we start to get some sunshine, your lawn will really start to grow again, so it will start to look green. Another little easy task for you is that you can also get some fertiliser."

"If you just lightly sprinkle it onto your lawn now or in the next couple of weeks, gardeners will start to find that come spring and summer, they will have the greenest lawn on their street."

She encouraged gardeners to get a head start, adding: "It really makes a difference later in the year, so it is worth giving it a go."

As grass reawakens from February to April, it's prime time to apply an early spring lawn fertiliser.

The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) also endorses this approach, noting that feeding your lawn can curb the emergence of weeds and moss.

The RHS advises: "Apply fertilisers when the soil is moist, or when rain is expected."
