Would you like a lawn that’s the envy of all your neighbors? Or at the very least, a yard that isn’t filled with weeds and so brown it looks like you live in a desert climate? The best way to get that beautiful green spring lawn is to prepare in the fall. For a healthy, green yard, make sure you get the following fall lawn care chore list done:
● Fertilize: Fall fertilizing for cool-season grasses reduces the dormant period when grass turns brown. It also preps the lawn to grow back luscious and green in the spring.
● Eliminate Broadleaf Weeds: Although weeds such as dandelions and ground ivy can be pulled and plucked all year long, they respond best to weed killer in the fall.
● Mow: Even though the temperatures might be dropping, keep mowing the grass once a week until it stops growing.
● Overseed: Your yard might look like it doesn’t need seeding, but lawncare experts recommend overseeding to give your yard a head start in the spring.
● Dethatch: Rake up dead grass and weeds to create a clean slate for new growth.
● Aerate: This method pulls up plugs of soil and allows for deeper water penetration and root growth.
● Water: Give your yard a thorough watering if it hasn’t rained in a while. Do this even if the temperatures seem too cool to water.
