However, despite a change in weather, you shouldn&#8217;t be\u00a0cutting\u00a0back on lawn care. In fact, thanks to cool, moist conditions, it&#8217;s prime time to give your turf some extra TLC for an excellent season next spring. And at\u00a0Lawn Doctor of the Albemarle, we can help. We understand the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/thealbemarle-nc\/fall_lawn_care_tips\/\">ins and outs of fall lawn care<\/a> across the\u00a0Outer Banks, NC area and exactly what steps are most important to take. Here&#8217;s a look at a few:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Aerate dense soil. <\/strong>If your yard had a lot of foot traffic over summer, then soil compaction can become an issue. Alleviate the condition through a simple technique called core aeration. This removes soil plugs and\u00a0creates pathways for more nutrients and water to reach roots, all while giving them the space to breathe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Seed thin areas.<\/strong> If you have spots in your lawn that are sparse, bare, or damaged in some way, repair them through seeding. This will not only thicken up turf density, but it will also ensure weeds and diseases don&#8217;t gain a foothold in these areas.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Feed your lawn. <\/strong>Fall on\u00a0the\u00a0Outer Banks\u00a0is a critical time in your turf&#8217;s health, which is why fertilization is a key\u00a0lawn care task. Just make sure whatever you apply is the right product for your particular type of turfgrass. Also, don&#8217;t wait until too late in the season to fertilize\u00a0when temperatures drop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 40px;\"><strong>Keep up with mowing and watering.<\/strong> Don&#8217;t stop mowing your lawn just because the growing season is coming to an end. It still needs routine cuts to stay in great shape heading into dormancy. Likewise, hydration is important, as well, so make sure you water if grass isn&#8217;t getting an inch a week from local Outer Banks-area\u00a0rainfall.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Let the\u00a0Outer Banks&#8217;\u00a0Fall Lawn Care Team Help<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to fall\u00a0lawn care on the Outer Banks, you have to perform these steps at the right times of the season.
