Taking great care of your lawn in fall-time means more than just raking the leaves. Before your lawn “hibernates” for the season, we’re sharing some useful landscaping tips to help your lawn come back full, lush and green next spring!
Fertilize for Winter
As your lawn’s growth starts to slow down in fall and winter, you’ll want to be sure your lawn can establish healthy grass roots so that it can survive through the harsh temperature drops we see in the St. Louis area. Give your grass one last fertilization treatment before temperatures really start to drop – and stay low!
Get Rid of Weeds
Many commonly found weeds such as crabgrass go to seed during fall-time. This means that lawn care should include some weed removal in fall. We recommend giving your lawn and landscaped areas one final weeding in fall to help minimize the amount of weeds you’ll get in spring.
Regular Raking
An important part of fall lawn care is leaf raking. Your front yard will look nicer without leaf debris all over the place. Plus, you will be keeping excessive leaf pile-ups off of your lawn, which will help to eliminate any dead patches of grass. This is especially true in lawns with lots of tree coverage, a thick layer of leaves can mat down lawn, smothering them!
Plus, Tree Care
We can not stress enough how important it can be for both home and business owners to evaluate all medium and large landscape trees before winter hits. Severe storms, ice, and heavy snow fall can build up on tree branches, breaking off limbs and causing damage to your roof, home, or vehicles. G&G Lawn & Tree provides professional tree evaluations that are help to determine when and why your trees should be trimmed or totally removed.
