How Our Fall Lawn Care In Upton Keeps Lawns Healthy Through the Winter
Keeping your lawn healthy through winter can require a long list of treatments, especially if it has had any persisting health problems throughout the year. Implementing all of the treatments needed to keep your yard healthy through the winter can be extremely time consuming if you’re in it alone. We utilize flexible treatment options and hassle-free applications to get your lawn geared up for winter without the stress.
We utilize several different treatments to keep local lawns healthy through the winter. Here are a few of them:
Power Seeding. If there are any thin or patchy areas in your lawn, the underlying problems that cause them can be worsened by winter weather. Our power seeding treatments will fill in these areas to restore thick and even grass coverage, making your lawn more resistant to the threats of the colder months.
Core Aeration. When your lawn’s soil becomes compressed, due to foot traffic, soil type, or other factors, it can inhibit your lawn’s ability to access the elements it needs to survive, like air, water and fertilizer. Core aeration breaks apart compacted soil and restores the healthy circulation of oxygen, nutrients, and water that your lawn needs to stay healthy through the winter.
Lime. Lime naturally brings the pH (acidity) level in balance with recommended levels for healthy lawns. It slows thatch build-up, which can choke growth and reduce turf density and it increases the effectiveness of fertilizer by making it more readily available to the grass plants.
Fertilization. Ensuring that your lawn is dense with nutrients is an important part of maintaining its ongoing health, but this task becomes even more crucial in the winter months. Shorter daylight hours and other environmental challenges cause local lawns to expend more nutrients than usual in the winter months, which is why fall fertilization is essential. Our fertilization treatments utilize custom-blended fertilizers with Nitrogen and Potassium to optimize your yard’s nutrient levels and keep it fed until warmer weather comes back around.
