When you do, it will be less likely to experience stress during harsh winter conditions and will return to life greener and lusher in the spring. Some ways to do that include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>Cleaning it up.<\/strong> Leaves can continue to fall onto your lawn over many weeks. Make sure you&#8217;re regularly cleaning them up. If they remain, they&#8217;ll block sunlight and create damp conditions that are ideal for infections and pests.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>Mowing\u00a0lower in your last cut. <\/strong>If your lawn is still growing, make sure that final cut is a bit lower than usual. You&#8217;re aiming for a lawn that&#8217;s\u00a02 to 2\u00bd inches high by wintertime. This ensures it&#8217;s short enough\u00a0so\u00a0snow mold can&#8217;t gain a foothold, but long enough to protect against winter stress.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: start;\"><strong>Treating spring weeds now.<\/strong> Your lawn is constantly facing competition from weeds. Treat some of them now with a pre-emergent product. This will suppress the germination process, so seeds can&#8217;t develop into mature weed plants and populate your yard in spring.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; text-align: start;\"><strong>Serving\u00a0Johnstown with Lawn Maintenance Tips &amp; Treatments<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; text-align: start;\">If you&#8217;d like to know more about maintenance and how to achieve the highest defenses\u00a0in the weeks ahead, turn to\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Altoona &#8211; Johnstown &#8211; Bedford County.
