\"FatherAutumn is one of the best times of year to care for your turf. The right attention\u00a0now will help it recuperate after the heat and drought of summer and get the boost it needs to easily survive winter. It will then emerge greener and stronger next spring. But where do you begin?\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Grand Rapids has the answers. As fall lawn care professionals<\/a> in the Grand Rapids, MI area, we recommend the following easy steps to get a lawn you love in the next growing season:<\/p>\n

Fertilize to support better health.<\/strong>\u00a0Fall in the Grand Rapids area\u00a0is the one of the most important points of the year to care for your lawn by fertilizing it. Apply\u00a0a product rich in nitrogen, which is the nutrient responsible for healthy growth and color.<\/p>\n

Deal with broadleaf weeds. <\/strong>From dandelion to ground ivy, these weeds are most susceptible to herbicides during the fall. That’s when they’re taking in energy from their environment to store up through winter. As a result, they’ll absorb more of the product you apply into the root system.<\/p>\n

Keep up with\u00a0mowing and raking.\u00a0<\/strong>Mow your lawn until it stops growing. You can cut it a bit shorter just before winter, which will help prevent snow mold from forming. Likewise, keep turf healthy by removing heavy, wet leaves that block out sunlight.<\/p>\n

Spot seed or overseed your lawn. <\/strong>Now’s also a good time to deal with those areas damaged by the stress of summer. Whether it’s a few small spots or your whole yard, you can improve thickness and boost natural defenses through seeding.<\/p>\n

Aerate heavy soil. <\/strong>Increase the flow of air, water, and nutrients to the root system by aerating, which simply removes small soil plugs to alleviate compression and open your lawn to taking in more resources.<\/p>\n
