Lawn Maintenance Steps to Help You Winterize Your Turf
Putting your lawn to bed properly ahead of winter will help it return to life, greener and healthier next spring. What steps should you take? Whether you have warm- or cool-season grasses, some maintenance practices that are important for lawns in the Columbus area include:
- Increasing sunlight to turf. When grass is shaded by leaves or clutter, it will limit sunlight and produce fewer carbohydrates, which are needed for cold tolerance. It’s why it’s so important to ensure your lawn is raked up and cleaned off for the season ahead.
- Loosen heavy surface thatch. Raking your lawn can also help to break up a heavy layer of surface thatch. When there is one, it will block out resources, like water and other essentials, from flowing into the root zone. Loosening thatch up will help to get more of these important building blocks into the soil.
- Treat diseases before they happen. If your lawn has had issues in the past with diseases, like Large Patch, and tends to stay wet during fall, apply a preventative treatment to avoid this. The healthier your turf is going into dormancy, the better it will look next spring.
