Even though it&#8217;s not active, diseases, pests, and other pressures can still be a problem. Before winter\u00a0arrives in the Outer Banks area, protect your lawn from them with the right maintenance steps. This will minimize damage and discoloration, paving the way for more beauty in the spring. Some practices to follow\u00a0include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Treating weeds.<\/strong> Weeds compete with your grass for sunlight, nutrients, and other resources. It&#8217;s therefore important to spot treat any you see with a post-emergent product. In addition, suppress the development of weed seeds in the soil with a pre-emergent treatment. This will interrupt germination and stop weeds from developing into mature plants.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Continuing with\u00a0mowing. <\/strong>Continue to mow your lawn until it goes dormant. Before your last cut, lower the blades on your mower, so your final lawn height is around\u00a02 to 2\u00bd inches. More sunlight will be able to\u00a0reach the crowns of grass plants, minimizing\u00a0bacteria and mold from getting established.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cleaning up. <\/strong>Keep your lawn clean and clear of leaves and other clutter. This will help to ensure moisture isn&#8217;t trapped and diseases don&#8217;t infect. It also exposes the grass to more air and sunlight, keeping it healthier throughout winter.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Serving\u00a0the\u00a0Outer Banks with Lawn Maintenance Tips &amp; Treatments<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Your lawn gets a lot of action during the outdoor season.
