The weather is rapidly changing and seasons come and go just as quickly as they arrived. That’s why we want to help guide you on the things you need to do.
How to prepare your lawn for the fall:
- Don’t stop mowing
- Get rid of those leaves
- Fertilize your lawn
- Watch for weeds
Don’t stop mowing
Even as the season changes you will continue to mow your lawn as needed. You want to cut your grass at a length that will allow peak sunlight to reach the grass as the season progresses.
Get rid of those leaves
If you get lazy when it comes to removing the fallen leaves you will pay for it later. Leaving wet soggy leaves on your grass can cause lawn disease as well as blocking the sunlight from reaching the soil. You can also buy attachments for your mower that can help speed up the process.
Fertilize your lawn
Have you ever fertilized your lawn before? Experts say it’s best to complete this project in the fall. Fertilizing your lawn helps give your soil the proper nutrients to foster growth during the cold winter months. Using a quality spreader will help ensure that your lawn is receiving equal fertilization on every inch of your property. Once spring arrives you will be surprised at how healthy your grass looks compared to previous years.
Watch for weeds
You will want to continue to pull or get rid of any of the weeds in the fall. Weeds can suck the sunlight and any hydration from your grass. You want your grass to be in the best possible situation to bloom so don’t be hesitate to get down and get to work. When Spring arrives you will be happy to see that all of your hard work paid off.
