Taking Proper Care of Your Lawn This Fall
It’s that time of year again when the gardening season comes to an end and you begin the task of winterizing your lawn. There are several simple things you can do to keep your lawn clean this fall and help prepare it for the upcoming winter months. Let your lawn service provider help you with this!
Rake Leaves
The first step to take is to rake up any leaves and other debris from your lawn. This can help prevent disease, pests, and mold over the winter months. Use a leaf blower or rake to gather up the debris and put it in a compost pile or discard it in a bag to keep the environment clean.
Cut Grass
The second step to keep your lawn clean during the fall season is to cut the grass. Make sure to use an appropriate height setting on your mower or lawn care equipment and do not cut the grass too short or water too much. After the job is completed, be sure to spread a fertilizer or grass seed to encourage growth in your lawn.
Remove Weeds
The third step is to remove any weeds or unwanted plants from the area. This is best done with either a plant killer or with manual motorized tools. This ensures that your lawn is free of any weeds or pests.
Use Organic Products
Finally, using organic lawn care products for your lawn will ensure a cleaner, healthier lawn. They are more environmentally friendly and will not harm the soil or nearby plants. A lawn specialist can suggest the best organic lawn care products to use in your specific area.
