When the temperature warms up next spring, you want a great-looking lawn to go with it. The easiest way to get there? By investing some extra effort into your turf during the autumn season. In fact, as experts in fall lawn care in the Collegeville, PA area, Lawn Doctor of Collegeville-Upper Providence-Upper Merion knows that now is actually the ideal time to deliver a wide variety of treatments. These will help your grass get through the winter and come back stronger than ever in spring. They include:
- Dealing with soil compaction. All those parties and picnics over summer were fun for you, but they did a number on your grass, with high foot traffic often leading to soil compaction. Alleviate this condition with core aeration, which removes small soil plugs, opening your lawn to more air, water, and nourishment.
- Boosting turf density. Lack of water combined with a hot, beating sun can weaken and even kill off areas in your yard. You can repair these spots, as well as improve overall turf density by seeding your lawn. It will not only look better, but have stronger defenses.
- Nourishing your lawn. The right nutrients, delivered in the autumn, will help drive the recovery process from summer heat, fortify your turf for a harsh Southeastern Pennsylvania winter, and ensure it comes back bright and green next spring.
- Getting to weeds. When you apply a pre-emergent lawn care treatment during the fall, you’ll not only suppress autumn weeds by interrupting the germination process, but also perennial spring time weeds. Just avoid applying products where you’ve seeded.
- Mowing and raking. To get and keep your lawn as healthy as possible, it’s important to stay on top of regular maintenance chores, including mowing until the first hard frost and raking or blowing off dead leaves.
