You deserve to have healthy, green grass in spring. One of the best ways to get there is with the right care for your lawn in fall. In fact, when you take proper steps, you’ll fortify your turf against winter weather, all while setting it up for future success. To help you with the process, Lawn Doctor of South Shore offers these tips for fall lawn care for Hingham, South Shore, Cape Cod and Plymouth, MA-area homeowners:
- Aerating. High foot traffic and other summer stressors can often lead to soil compaction. This can be easily relieved by aerating to remove small chunks of soil, creating pathways for more air, water and nutrients to reach roots.
- Seeding. Summer can also leave behind bare or damaged areas. Repair them and rejuvenate your lawn overall by seeding it. This will not only thicken turf, but make it less susceptible to weeds, disease, and other threats.
- Fertilizing. Fueling your lawn with the right mix of nutrients is critical to healthy root development through the winter months and beautiful color and growth once spring arrives.
- Weed control. Fall in the Hingham area offers the ideal time to prevent spring-time weeds with a pre-emergent lawn care treatment. As a result, you’ll see far fewer breaking through the surface and spreading in your lawn in the seasons ahead.
- Pest control. In addition to weeds, pests can also be making a home in your lawn and autumn provides an ideal window to treat and prevent them from infesting in spring.
- Mowing. Don’t put that lawn mower away just yet. Your grass will continue to grow up until the first hard frost, so it will need regular cuts to keep it at the optimal height.
