Fall Tips for a Beautiful Spring Lawn
Pittsburgh’s fall season is in full swing, with cooler temperatures and vibrant colors. This means that it is time to prepare your lawn to endure the harsh winter. Fall is a critical time to prepare your lawn through fertilizing, weed control, and more to ensure you have a beautiful, healthy lawn come springtime!
How Should I Prepare My Lawn This Fall?
There are a variety of ways to prepare your lawn for the winter season; we recommend the following:Mulch Leaves. As falling leaves cover your lawn, you need to mulch them into smaller pieces. Falling leaves can create a blanket over your lawn, preventing vital sunlight from reaching the grass. By mulching the leaves, your lawn can receive the sunlight it needs, preventing it from becoming thin and weak.
Fertilize. When you fertilize your lawn in the fall, you provide your turf with the nutrients it needs to promote healthy root and grass growth. This helps you to create a stronger and healthier lawn that will better withstand the harsh conditions of winter.
Weed Control. The fall season is a great time to control the annual and perennial weeds plaguing your lawn to ensure a lush, weed-free lawn come spring. When you kill weeds such as dandelions in the fall, you can prevent them from blemishing your lawn in the spring.
