Spring in Alabama means outdoor gatherings, kids playing in yards, and plenty of rainfall. While these signs of spring are welcome, they also contribute to a common yet often overlooked issue—soil compaction. Compacted soil can silently damage your lawn’s health, leading to weak growth, water runoff, and increased vulnerability to drought and diseases.

Spring rains in Alabama can be deceiving—your lawn might not get the consistent moisture it needs. Discover how deep, infrequent watering, early morning irrigation, and proper aeration set your lawn up for success all season. Avoid common pitfalls and keep your lawn vibrant with these essential spring watering tips from Steven’s Wack-N-Sack.

On April 5, 2025, we proudly rolled back into Veterans Park for the third annual Touch-a-Truck event in Alabaster—and we loved every minute of it.

For us, Touch-a-Truck isn’t just about putting our lawn care equipment on display. It’s about showing up for the community that’s supported us since 2002. As a local business deeply rooted in Alabaster, we take pride in more than just crisp mow lines and clean edges—we care about people, families, and connection.

Spring in Alabama brings a burst of color and energy after a long winter. Lawns green up, flowers start to bloom, and garden beds beg for attention. One of the simplest and most effective ways to freshen up your landscape this time of year is by laying down a fresh layer of pine straw.

At Steven’s Wack-n-Sack, we know that pine straw isn’t just about looks—it plays a key role in maintaining a healthy, functional yard. Here’s why spring is the ideal time to put it down and how to get the most from your investment.
