Leaf Removal is Key
If you want to keep your lawn full and green, and prepare it well for the winter and coming spring, keeping the leaves off is the first step. Leaves covering your lawn may look pretty but they block the sunlight and nutrients from getting to the root system of your lawn which can kill not only the grass but its root system as well. Rake the leaves and deposit them away from your lawn. Even after the trees are done shedding, continue raking spots where leaves build up. The fewer leaves on your lawn the healthier it will become in the spring.
Prioritize Loosening the Soil
For optimal lawn growth and thickness, it is of utmost importance that you prioritize regular aeration. This aids in the prevention of compacted soil which can stop water, nutrients, and oxygen from being able to nourish the roots and stems of the grass. To properly aerate your lawn, you should puncture holes and churn the soil as a means of prepping for fertilizer. By creating those holes, the fertilizer will be better able to access the roots.
Fantastic Fertilizer
Once you have aerated your lawn it’s time to add fertilizer. By fertilizing your lawn in the fall you are giving it the extra nutrients it needs to combat the cold of winter. Fertilizer aids in the growth of the root while also protecting from disease and frigid temperatures.
Plant Seeds Toward a Healthier Lawn
Finally, spread seeds. This will aid in filling bare spots as well as helping to prevent drought. Autumn is the ideal time to see because the ground remains warm while the sun is kept at bay by the cooler temperatures. That being said, it is not only okay but encouraged to oversee at this time of year.
