Hello Friends,
Fall is in the air. While you’re enjoying
it, make sure you check a few must-do items off of your list.
Aerate
Cooler temperatures are an ideal time to give your lawn access to
more oxygen, water and fertilizer. Aeration reduces thatch, improves drainage
and loosens the soils. To make sure it’s done right, hire a lawn care professional who offers aeration services.
Rake the leaves
Remember how fun it was
to rake all of the leaves into a pile and jump in? Reconnect with your
childhood memories while looking out for your lawn’s long-term health. Don’t
wait too long, though. Wet leaves from rain and morning dew can stick together
and form a mat that cuts off nutrients and breeds fungal diseases.
Fertilize
It seems like an obvious thing to do in the spring, but did you
know that you should be fertilizing each fall as well? Settle your lawn down
for a long winter’s nap with the food it needs.
Kill the weeds
The time to start
getting ready for a weed-free lawn is right now. Get the last laugh on those
pesky dandelions by spraying them while they’re at their most vulnerable.
Weeds, like all plants, go into energy conservation mode which means they drink
in everything that comes their way – which includes weed killer.
Repair dead patches
The heat of the summer may have taken a toll on your lawn. If
you’re seeing patches of brown, get
help from a lawn care expert to determine what
the issue is and how you can fix it.
Drain irrigation lines
The last thing you want to worry about all winter is a sprinkler
pipe bursting. Now is a great time to let an expert take a look at your
sprinklers, fix any issues and drain the irrigation lines.
Thanks so much,
