Pests, diseases and other problems are still active, though. Protect your lawn from them before\u00a0winter arrives\u00a0 by following a few best maintenance practices. These include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Continuing to mow. <\/strong>Mow your lawn until it goes dormant. During the final cut, remove a little more than usual,\u00a0so it&#8217;s approximately\u00a02 to 2\u00bd inches in height. This length is ideal since it protects your grass from stress, while also\u00a0minimizing the risk of\u00a0mold and bacteria from settling in.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Performing regular clean up. <\/strong>Clear up your lawn by raking it and removing any clutter, such as leaves,\u00a0wood piles, or branches. This will expose it to more sunlight and reduce moisture, keeping diseases at bay.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Treating\u00a0weeds on the surface and below. <\/strong>Weeds compete with your lawn for nutrients, space and other resources. Get them out of your yard by spot treating or hand pulling surface ones. For seeds underground, apply a\u00a0pre-emergent product. This will interrupt growth and prevent them from maturing and spreading in your yard next spring.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Serving\u00a0Fort Collins with Lawn Maintenance Tips &amp; Treatments<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Your lawn faces many challenges during the\u00a0growing season,\u00a0which is where maintenance and care from our team can help.\u00a0We&#8217;ll enhance its strength and beauty with a treatment plan customized to its exact needs.
