Once fall hits Northern Colorado, you might think it’s the perfect time to pack up your lawn care tools. However, in reality, it’s the ideal time to tackle certain tasks, positioning your turf for more beauty and health this spring. At Lawn Doctor of Longmont-Boulder, we can help you get there. As experts in fall lawn care in Boulder, CO, we know what to do now to reap the best results in the seasons ahead. For instance, make sure you:
Aerate your lawn. Thanks to the heat and stress of summer, along with heavy foot traffic, it’s easy for soil to get compacted and your yard to get stressed. But you can ease the situation by aerating your yard, which includes removing small chunks of soil to get more oxygen, water, and nutrients flowing to the roots.
Seed thin or bare areas. Summer can also kill off parts of your yard, leading to bare spots that become a prime target for weeds and diseases. Thicken up your lawn by reseeding and repairing these areas, making sure the seed actually touches the soil for the highest germination rate.
Fortify through fertilization. Fall in Boulder is also the ideal time to apply a final fertilization application, which will give your lawn the care and energy it needs to weather a harsh winter and grow in lusher and greener during the spring.
Apply weed control. Interrupt the germination process for weed species such as chickweed and dandelion, with an autumn pre-emergent weed control application. This will also prevent perennial weeds from emerging in the spring.
Rake, mow and water. Fall maintenance practices are critically important, including raking up leaves to prevent diseases, as well as mowing and watering until your lawn goes dormant.
