Fall is in the air, which means pumpkins, turkeys, and autumn leaves. But beyond enjoying the autumn foliage, football, and other fun traditions, are you also focusing on lawn care? If not, you could be missing a prime opportunity to improve the overall health of your lawn and enjoy a more successful growing season come spring and summer. To help you get started, here are the lawn care services property owners in the Westchester County, NY area should be implementing:
- Mowing your grass. Don’t stop mowing just because temperatures drop. Your lawn will continue to grow and require regular cuts until it goes dormant in winter.
- Aerating your lawn. Aerating your soil creates tunnels for more oxygen, nutrients, and water to reach roots. As a result, grass can absorb more resources, growing thicker and stronger.
- Seeding thin or bald spots. Don’t let weeds take over vulnerable areas. Instead, protect your lawn with fresh seed by either spot seeding bare locations or overseeding your whole lawn.
- Fertilizing your turf. Feeding your lawn is critical during fall as turf recovers from summer stress and needs resources to prepare for the winter ahead.
- Staying on top of insect control. If you let insects survive yet another season, they’ll continue populating your lawn and damaging it. If you’re noticing pest problems, take action now and limit any harm they’ll likely cause to your yard in the seasons ahead.
- Raking up layers of leaves. Got a thick layer of leaves across your lawn? Rake them up before they lead to a fungal infection or kill off the grass underneath.
