Issues, like diseases and pests, can still be active, though. To stop them from damaging your lawn, take certain maintenance steps before winter sets in. This includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Stopping competition from weeds.<\/strong> Weeds compete with your grass for space, nutrients and other resources. It&#8217;s why getting them out of your yard is important. Spot treat those weeds you&#8217;re seeing. Also\u00a0apply a pre-emergent product to disrupt\u00a0the germination\u00a0process of weed seeds in the soil. You&#8217;ll notice far fewer\u00a0in the next growing season.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Keeping up with mowing. <\/strong>Continue to mow until your lawn stops growing. Make the final cut a little bit shorter, aiming for a length of around 2\u00a0inches high. This will get more sunlight to the crowns of grass plants and also prevent snow mold and bacteria from settling in and spreading.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cleaning up your lawn. <\/strong>Either mulch leaves into smaller pieces or rake them up from your yard. This will prevent moisture from getting trapped and eliminate the potential for an infection. It will also get more sunlight to your yard, so it avoids weaknesses and discoloration you&#8217;ll notice next spring.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Serving\u00a0State College with Lawn Maintenance Tips &amp; Treatments<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>During each season, your lawn is up against many\u00a0stressors, from weeds and diseases to foot traffic and harsh weather.
