Your lawn is an important asset, one you want roaring back to life in the spring ahead. But how do you get there? Lawn Doctor of Virginia Beach has the answers you need. We know that fall lawn care is a critical step for Virginia Beach, VA-area homeowners. How you treat your turf now will play a big part in the way it looks and grows in the season ahead. Some ways to set the stage for success include with:
Aerating. All that play time in your yard this summer can often lead to soil compaction in fall. To alleviate this issue, aerate your lawn. This creates pathways where air, water, and nutrients can get into the soil and reach roots.
Seeding. To fill in and fix those bare spots damaged by summer sun and drought, overseeding your entire lawn in the Fall can give it the boost it needs. Our exclusive Turf Tamer Power Seeder maximizes seed-to-soil contact and germination rates for the seedings that we do each Fall. As an alternative, aerating and seeding your lawn can still give your lawn better germination than just broadcasting seed with no process used to increase seed-to-soil contact.
Fertilizing. A hungry lawn is going to be more vulnerable to stress and attacks in the months ahead. Instead, make sure your grass has the nourishment it needs to repair itself after summer and build up energy supplies for winter.
Raking. Don’t let heavy leaves create conditions for fungal infections. Make sure you rake and remove them, cutting down on the risk, while also enabling more sunlight to reach your lawn.
Mowing. Continue with regular cutting to keep your lawn in optimal health. It will grow until the first hard frost hits.
Watering. If grass isn’t getting about an inch of water a week, it will get dehydrated. Avoid this by adding watering to your lawn care list during the Virginia Beach area’s fall.
