How to prepare for winter?

You should:

• Fertilize your lawn.
• Rake leaves and keep them off the grass.
• Prune any shrubs or trees that could damage the lawn.
• Add mulch to the ground to prevent frost heaves.

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.
