Want that picture-perfect lawn next spring? Then the steps you take during the autumn season will play a big part. In fact, as experts in fall lawn care in the Cumming, GA area, Lawn Doctor of Alpharetta-Cumming knows what treatments and tasks to tackle now to set the stage for healthier growth and color next spring. Making sure you don’t miss any by following this easy checklist:
- Cutting your grass. Your lawn needs regular cuts in order to maintain good health. So make sure you’re mowing your lawn routinely, never removing more than 1/3 of the grass blade height at a time.
- Watering when needed. To remain strong during autumn and in the seasons ahead, your grass has to be well-hydrated. If it’s not getting at least one inch of moisture per week from rainfall, then supplement by watering.
- Raking up leaves. Don’t let leaves lead to diseases in your lawn. When they pile up, they create wet, dark conditions that are optimal for fungi and other problems to get established and spread.
- Aerating and seeding. Heavy foot traffic, combined with heat and drought, can lead to soil compaction along with dead or dying grass. You can deal with these issues by aerating your Fescue lawn and then seeding it. This will open it up to more nutrients, oxygen and sunlight, all while improving turf density.
- Feeding your grass. One of the most vital lawn care steps to take during the fall is fertilization. This will help turf to recover from summer stress and build up energy reserves for the winter ahead. As a result, it will grow back greener and lusher during spring.
