Want a beautiful, green lawn come spring? Now’s the time to set the stage for it. In fact, when you make the right moves in the fall, your grass will better recover from summer stress, get through a harsh winter, and emerge stronger than ever come spring. And at Lawn Doctor of Bernardsville-Basking Ridge, we can help you with the process. As experts in fall lawn care in Basking Ridge and Bernardsville, NJ, we know what to do to ensure optimal results. This includes:
- Core aeration. By using an aerator to core out small soil plugs around your lawn, you can help it recover from summer-time soil compaction and get more of the critical essentials it needs, like oxygen and nutrients.
- Lawn seeding. Bare spots and thin areas don’t just look ugly, they also give weeds, diseases, and other issues a chance to get established. Avoid the risk with a healthy dose of seed to repair damaged spots and improve turf density.
- Fertilization treatments. There are many optimal times of the year to feed your turf and fall is one of the best times to take on this lawn care task. This fuels healthier root development, helping it prepare for harsh winter conditions so you get a greener and lusher lawn next spring.
- Pre-emergent weed control. Weeds are never a welcome sight. Thankfully, you can cut down on many kinds with a pre-emergent application in fall, which hinders the germination process and reduces populations of autumn and spring weeds.
- Good maintenance practices. Whether you’re watering or mowing, follow good maintenance practices until your lawn goes dormant, including never cutting off more than 1/3 of the grass height and watering deeply, but infrequently.
