The difference between having a mediocre lawn next spring and having one you truly love lies in the care you give it now. In fact, the autumn season provides an ideal time to help grass regain its strength and vigor after summer heat and drought, as well as get ready for the colder weather ahead. It will therefore have all it needs for a great comeback in the next growing season. Don’t know where to begin? Lawn Doctor of Arlington-HEB-Grapevine has the answers. As experts in fall lawn care in the Arlington TX area, here’s what we recommend for your yard:
- Keep it disease-free. When leaves are falling, don’t let them pile up, creating wet and dark conditions. This can lead to fungal infections. Rather, regularly rake it, at least once a week.
- Keep it well-hydrated. Is local rainfall adding up to an inch a week? If not, put watering on your fall lawn care list, so grass doesn’t get too dry before the Arlington, TX area’s winter sets in.
- Keep it regularly cut. Don’t slow down on this maintenance task. Continue to cut until dormancy, never removing more than 1/3 at a time. Otherwise, your grass will get stressed.
- Keep it aerated. If you have clay soil or a lot of foot traffic in your yard, soil is going to get compacted. The easy way to deal with it – and get more air, water, and nutrients flowing – is through aeration.
- Keep it nourished. Don’t skip that final fall fertilizer application. This will give your turf a boost to recover better after summer heat, survive winter, and come back stronger than ever in spring.
