However, as leading providers of lawn care services in the Cumming, GA area, we know if you want a healthy lawn come spring, there are some steps you have to take in late fall and winter to ensure it. Here are a few of them:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fight back against\u00a0weeds. <\/strong>Weeds detract from the overall health and beauty of your lawn, which makes treating them\u00a0critical. So if you&#8217;re noticing weed-filled areas in your lawn, deal with them now. You can apply an herbicide product up through late fall to treat your lawn, so once spring comes around again, you&#8217;ll notice far fewer weeds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep your lawn free and clear. <\/strong>Winter months can be wet and cold. As experienced lawn care service providers in the Cumming area, we know those are perfect conditions for diseases to start and spread in your lawn. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to clean up your lawn. Make sure you remove debris, such as leaf and wood piles, as well as objects, like furniture and lawn decorations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep grass types in mind.<\/strong>\u00a0When it comes to providing proper care for your lawn, it&#8217;s important to keep grass types in mind. If, for instance, you have cool-season grasses,\u00a0nourish your lawn in late fall with a quality fertilizer that contains slow-release nitrogen.\u00a0If, however,\u00a0you have warm-season grasses in your lawn, like\u00a0centipede or Bermuda, overseed with annual ryegrass for a green lawn during winter.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Care for\u00a0your mower. <\/strong>After you cut your grass for the last time, leave the clippings on your lawn to provide grass with extra nutrients. Also, once you&#8217;re done mowing for the season, don&#8217;t just put your lawn mower in your shed until next spring. Make sure you properly winterize it. This includes draining fuel and performing an oil change. It also means tuning up parts and sharpening blades. This way, it will be ready to go come next spring.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Get Help from the Cumming Area&#8217;s Proven\u00a0Lawn Care Service Company<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At Lawn Doctor of Alpharetta-Cumming, we&#8217;re always just a call away with affordable and effective lawn care services.
