Fall lawn care is critical for repairing summer damage, strengthening roots, and preparing turf for winter survival, leading to a healthier green-up in spring.
Overseeding and Repair: Repair damaged, thin, or patchy areas
Warm soil and cool air of fall offer the best conditions for new grass seed to germinate and establish before winter
Aeration: Aerate to reduce soil compaction, allowing oxygen, water, and nutrients to reach the roots more effectively
Best done in early fall
Fertilizing: Apply a slow-release, winterizer fertilizer (high in nitrogen and potassium) to feed the grass and strengthen roots for the dormant season
Leaf Removal: Regularly rake and remove leaves, as they can trap moisture, promote fungal diseases, and smother grass if left to accumulate
