Don’t deal with same disappointing lawn every spring. Instead, invest some time and effort now and reap the rewards during next year’s growing season. In fact, as specialists in fall lawn care in the Doylestown, PA area, we know that the right treatments now will help your turf recover from summer and gear up for the harsh Pennsylvania winter ahead. As result, it will emerge brighter and more beautiful next time spring rolls around. Some specific steps to take include:
- Feeding your lawn. Even through winter, roots are still growing and depending on nutrients in the soil to make it through to spring. That’s where a fall fertilization application comes in, providing access to important vitamins and minerals that will help grass come back greener and healthier.
- Aerating the soil. Parties, play time, and picnics are fun for the family, but they can lead to soil compaction. The good news is that with core aeration, you can alleviate this condition, allowing for more air, water, and nutrients to penetrate and circulate into the root zone.
- Repairing damaged areas. Summer heat can often damage areas in your yard, even killing off some of your grass. The easiest way to deal with this issue is by seeding your lawn. Depending on the extent of the damage, you might want to spot seed certain areas or overseed your whole lawn.
- Raking up dead leaves. Don’t let leaves lead to infections and other issues. Instead, rake them up and stop them from trapping moisture and blocking sunlight.
- Continuing to mow. Despite dropping temperatures in fall, continue to care for your lawn by mowing it until the Doylestown area’s first hard frost. When you do, make sure you’re following the 1/3 rule, never cutting off more than that amount at a time.
