Lawn Maintenance Steps to Help You Winterize Your Turf
Over the next few weeks, temperatures will continue to drop. As they do, your lawn will begin to enter the dormant phase. Though it’s no longer active, diseases, pests, and other issues are still a threat. Protect your lawn from them before winter arrives in the Virginia Beach area with the right maintenance steps. These include:
- Stopping weed competition. Weeds compete with your grass for resources, such as space and nutrients. Suppress those you’re seeing by spot treating or hand pulling them. Also treat those that are in seed form with a pre-emergent product. This will disrupt the germination process, ensuring they can’t mature.
- Keeping your lawn free and clear. When weeds or branches pile up, they stop sunlight from getting to your lawn and trap moisture. This makes conditions ideal for infections and pests to make a home. Avoid this all by raking and cleaning up your yard, including removing wood piles, toys, and clutter.
- Mowing shorter a final time. If your grass is still growing, approach the final cut differently. Cut a little more off than usual, aiming for a lawn that’s around 2 to 2½ inches high. This will keep snow mold and bacteria from settling in. It’s also still long enough to avoid scalping and resulting stress.
