Fall is here!

 

As temperatures cool down, this is one of the best times of year to give your lawn a little extra attention.

​

If your lawn feels hard or compacted, aeration is a great way to help loosen the soil and allow water, air and nutrients to get down to the roots. It’s one of the easiest things you can do to help your lawn recover from summer stress and come back stronger next spring.

 

If you’re thinking about seeding, the ideal fall seeding window is coming to an end soon. New grass needs enough time to germinate and get established before colder weather arrives, so now is the time to get it done.

 

And with the leaves starting to fall, don’t feel like you have to bag every single one. Mulching leaves with your mower is actually good for the lawn because the small pieces break down and add nutrients back into the soil.

 

Just make sure you don’t let a heavy layer of leaves sit on the lawn for too long. Too many leaves can block sunlight and air from reaching the grass and can eventually damage or kill the turf underneath.

As always, if you have any questions about your lawn, just give us a call. We’re happy to help.

 

Thank you for trusting TLC with your lawn!
