Tips to Take Care of Your Lawn During Fall

Collect Debris

You want to rake up fallen leaves and tidy up your lawn more frequently in the fall than in any other season. Bring out your leaf blower to collect all the debris and pick up any gardening tools in your yard. This is a fantastic time to clear up your garden before the cold season, so spend your time wisely.

Prune Plants

Next, you will want to trim your plants to promote their natural shape and healthy growth. Attend to your bushes, shrubs, fruit trees, and ornamental plants. You will also want to use this opportunity to tackle dead and dying branches and overgrowth.

Fertilize Grass

More importantly, you will want to take care of your grass before winter. It’s best to tend to warm-season grasses in August and September and cool-season grasses in October and November. You can also consider seeding dead patches in your yard and watering them thoroughly before storing your tools for the cold season.
