Autumn is an important season for your lawn’s health and appearance. Not only is it rebuilding and repairing after a stressful summer, but also getting ready to go into dormancy during the colder weather months ahead. When it has all it needs to do this work, it will come back bright and beautiful next spring. And at Lawn Doctor of Keller-Southlake-NW Fort Worth, we can help you get it there. We know fall lawn care in the Keller, TX area requires a few key steps, including the following:
Fertilize your lawn. Just like people, your grass needs fuel to grow, defend itself, and stand strong and beautiful. Make sure it has all the right vitamins and minerals by fertilizing in fall. It will recover faster from summer stress and grow back greener and lusher next spring.
Stop broadleaf weeds. Broadleaf perennial weeds are more vulnerable in the fall as they’re taking in resources from their surroundings to build up food reserves for winter. When you treat them now, they’ll absorb weed control products right into the root system.
Keep mowing, watering, and raking. Continue with these all-important lawn care tasks throughout the Keller area’s fall until your grass goes dormant. Cut it to around three inches high each time, water if grass is getting less than one inch of moisture a week, and rake up fallen leaves that are blocking out sunlight.
Reduce soil compaction. Heavy summer foot traffic and yard usage, combined with clay soil, all lead to compaction. This limits water, air, and nutrients from getting to roots. Get these resources flowing freely and easily again by aerating.
