Lawn Maintenance Steps to Help Winterize Your Turf
Once the first hard freeze arrives, your grass will stop growing and go dormant. However, stressors, like pests and diseases, are still active. Prevent them from damaging your lawn by taking proper maintenance steps before winter settles in. This includes through:
- Clearing off your yard. Use a rake or power blower to clean up any leaves or other debris that has accumulated on your yard. This will promote more airflow and increase the amount of sunlight getting to grass plants. It will also lower the likelihood of diseases or pests making a home in your lawn.
- Continuing to mow. Mow your lawn until it stops growing. With your final cut, remove a little more than you usually do, striving for a final length that’s around 2 inches in height. This will keep it long enough to avoid stress and short enough to prevent mold and bacteria from getting established.
- Focusing on weeds. Get any weeds out of your yard with a post-emergent product. Also apply a pre-emergent treatment to treat next season’s invasion. This works by disrupting the germination process of seeds, stopping them from developing into full-grown plants.
