\"FatherWant a brighter, more beautiful lawn next spring? The work starts now. In fact, when you take the right steps and invest some effort into your yard during the autumn months, you’ll reap stunning results in the next growing season. And Lawn Doctor of Fort Collins is\u00a0here to help. With more than 38 years of experience in fall lawn care<\/a> in the Fort Collins, CO area, we know precisely what to do in the weeks and months ahead so you can maximize the health of your turf.\u00a0Here’s a look at some do’s and don’ts for this season:<\/p>\n

Do deal with leaves.<\/strong>\u00a0Heavy leaves across your lawn lock in wetness and block out sunlight. This adds up to optimal conditions for fungal infections and insect infestations. Don’t let this happen in your lawn right before winter; instead, regularly rake up or blow off fallen leaves.<\/p>\n

Do keep up on mowing and watering. <\/strong>Until that hard frost hits and your turf is officially dormant, continue to mow and water. When you do, don’t cut too short, which can cause stress and weaken your grass heading into winter. Likewise, if your lawn isn’t getting around an inch of water from local Fort Collins\u00a0rainfall, then add watering to your fall lawn care list.<\/p>\n

Don’t skip fall fertilization. <\/strong>This is a critical application since it gives your lawn the boost it needs to recover from summer stress and damage and prepare for the cold winter ahead. Therefore, it will green up faster and grow in thicker next spring.<\/p>\n

Don’t forget about compacted soil. <\/strong>Playtime and parties mean heavy foot traffic, which can cause soil compaction over summer. Autumn is the time to deal with it by aerating your lawn, reducing compression, and enabling nutrients, water, and oxygen to reach roots.<\/p>\n

Do tackle broadleaf weeds. <\/strong>In fall, dandelion and other broadleaf weeds are absorbing energy around them to get ready for winter. As a result, when you apply a weed control product, it will penetrate right into the root system, providing more effective control.<\/p>\n
