This helps to avoid\u00a0damage during the season, so your grass can\u00a0make a better comeback in the spring. Some practices include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Getting more sunlight to grass plants. <\/strong>If there are leaves or clutter, like wood piles or toys, covering your yard,\u00a0they block out sunlight. This can lead to wet, dark conditions ideal for fungus and pests to make a home. It&#8217;s why raking and cleaning up your lawn should be at the top of your list in the weeks ahead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Breaking\u00a0up heavy surface thatch.<\/strong> If surface thatch sits on top of your soil in a heavy layer, it will\u00a0block\u00a0moisture and nutrients from getting to roots. This makes it more vulnerable to stress and damage. When you&#8217;re raking, make sure you look for and break up areas with thatch, so there&#8217;s a healthy flow of essentials getting into the soil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Treating\u00a0diseases before they spread.<\/strong> If your lawn is prone to diseases, such as\u00a0Large Patch, get a jump on and treat your yard for them now. This is particularly important if your lawn tends to stay wet during fall, which can invite diseases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Serving\u00a0Alpharetta with Lawn Maintenance Tips &amp; Treatments<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Getting your turf in strong shape so it&#8217;s ready for seasonal stress takes experience.
