While it\u2019s been a relatively seasonable autumn here in the Boston area, there\u2019s no denying that winter is on its way. There are several lawn care tasks that you can do now to help protect your grass, plants, shrubs and trees from the cold and snow.<\/p>\n

#1: Have the Lawn Aerated<\/strong><\/p>\n

All summer long, the lawn has been the site for lots of happy kids and pets playing. This kind of foot traffic – not to mention any wear created by lawn mowers, four wheelers, or other vehicles that may have been on the grass – helps compact the soil. That\u2019s not a good thing – in fact, heavily compacted soil leads to large, hard bald patches in the yard that are incredibly unsightly. Lawn aeration loosens up the soil, giving it a quick, chemical-free reset to more optimal growing conditions.<\/p>\n

#2: Time for Fertilizer<\/strong><\/p>\n

After the lawn has been aerated, it\u2019s time to have your local lawn care service fertilize the lawn. Fall is the final fertilizer application of the growing season. The role of the fall fertilizer treatment is to nourish and support your grass through the long winter months. This is important sustenance for your lawn\u2019s health.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re interested in having more grass planted in your yard, you should also talk to your local lawn care service about power-seeding the lawn at this time.<\/p>\n

#3: Check & Wrap Shrubs & Trees<\/strong><\/p>\n

The final part of putting your Boston garden to bed for the winter involves checking and wrapping your shrubs and trees. Before you wrap the trees for the season, it\u2019s essential to make sure they\u2019re not already damaged or diseased. If you\u2019re not sure what to do about your damaged or diseased trees, reach out to your local lawn service – they have the relevant expertise for your local growing conditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
