As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/lakezurich-il\/fall_lawn_care_tips\/\">fall lawn care specialists<\/a> in the\u00a0Lake Zurich, IL area, we know that when you take certain steps now, you can help grass finish this growing season strong and come back gorgeous and green in the next. To get there, here are a few important steps to take:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Fertilize to support growth. <\/strong>To help your grass get back on track after a hot, dry summer and prepare for a harsh Northern Illinois winter head, it needs plenty of energy. That&#8217;s where fertilization comes in and why fall in the Lake Zurich area is such a critical time to tackle this lawn care task.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Don&#8217;t stop mowing. <\/strong>Don&#8217;t slow down on mowing just because temperatures are dropping. While the ideal height depends on your turfgrass type, never remove more than 1\/3 at a time. This will stimulate healthy growth, encouraging a lush, dense lawn.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Keep up on raking and watering.<\/strong> Make sure you&#8217;re monitoring rainfall. If your lawn isn&#8217;t getting an inch each week, then water it. Also, remove all those dead leaves, so they don&#8217;t have a chance to form a heavy layer that blocks sunlight, locks in moisture, and triggers diseases.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Aerate and seed.<\/strong> Summer is a stressful time for grass as it gets a lot more use than at any other time of the year. This can cause soil compaction and bare or patchy areas. Deal with both by aerating to cut down on\u00a0compaction, then seeding to build up turf density.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Get ahead on pests.<\/strong> Certain pests, like grubs, are seemingly small, but can do big-time damage. It&#8217;s best to treat them now, instead of waiting until spring. This will improve the overall health of your lawn and protect it down the line.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Let\u00a0Lake Zurich&#8217;s Fall Lawn Care Team Help<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Want to take advantage of the autumn season, but don&#8217;t have the time?
