Lawn care tips for fall
Mowing:
Lower mowing heights by 1/2″ on a regular basis as new growth slows, but continue core cuts of 1/2″ or more on a 4-8 week cycle.
Fertilize:
Plants need a full season on a fertilizer with a slow release nitrogen component.
It’s also important to rake up excess mowing clippings as they will decompose and release their nutrients over time.
Weed control:
Regularly apply pre-emergent herbicides.
