Another summer has come and gone and your lawn likely took a beating throughout it. Thanks to high temperatures and humidity combined with drought, it needs some extra effort in the weeks and months ahead. And at Lawn Doctor of Tupelo-Corinth-Jackson, we can help you give it. As fall lawn care specialists in the Jackson, TN area, we know how to get turf back on track after summer, so it stands tougher during winter. As a result, it will rebound better than ever next spring. Here’s what to do:
Rake. Doing so serves two purposes. First, you’ll be removing leaves before they become a heavy layer that blocks out sunlight. At the same time, you’ll be reducing some of the surface thatch that’s grown across your lawn, enabling more water and other resources to flow into the ground.
Water. As temperatures are cooling, your grass doesn’t need as much water. However, it still requires about an inch a week. So if local rainfall isn’t measuring up, then keep your yard hydrated by watering.
Mow. Continue to care for your lawn by cutting it throughout the Jackson area’s fall season to maintain its overall health and appearance.
Fertilize. Fertilize with a nutrient-rich product to give your grass the energy boost it needs. This will help it to recover from the stress of summer and store up food reserves for the winter ahead.
Control pests. Look for pests, like grubs, in your yard. If there’s more than five in a square foot, then treat your lawn. If you don’t and wait until spring, they’ll bounce back quickly and eat away at your grass roots.
