An essential annual task is preparing your lawn in the fall season for the many cold, wet months ahead. Simple maintenance can go a long way and help your lawn look even better when the spring season rolls around.
Below are a few simple tips to implement into your routine each fall.
Fall Lawn Checklist
- Fertilize. After summer and early in the fall season, fertilize your lawn. This helps load the roots with nutrients prior to its regular season of going dormant. This also gives the nutrients time to establish and strengthen the roots before cold weather sets in.
- Aerate. Aerating is essential to help ensure the nutrients reach the roots of the grass. It can also help reduce soil compaction, which commonly happens during the winter season.
- Control weeds. Tackling weeds in the fall can help make sure they don’t come back during the spring season.
- Rake leaves. Grass can get smothered or damaged by piles of leaves. Avoid this by raking leaves often, especially before snowfall.
- Mow. It’s crucial to make sure your grass isn’t too tall before the first snow hits.
- Winterize sprinkler systems. Make sure this is done about a week before the first freeze of the season.
- Overseed your lawn. This can help keep your grass lush and vibrant, and also prevent brown, dead patches from forming over winter.
- Repair bare spots. Repair bear or bald spots in your lawn with simple seeding.
- Water. While you will water your lawn less frequently during fall, it’s still important to make sure it’s getting enough. Check the grass and soil often, and water your lawn so that it’s neither too dry or too soggy.
