Preparing Your Lawn for Winter with Superior Lawn Care

Preparing Your Lawn for Winter with Superior Lawn Care

As we say goodbye to the warm summer months, the rapid approach of winter in Southwestern PA has us thinking about lawn care. Although your lawn care responsibilities might seem to have ended as fall begins, the truth is far from it. Plenty needs to be done to ensure that your lawn sustains the chilly winter and remains strong and flourishing for the spring season.

To keep your lawn healthy and robust, here are some expert tips for pre-winter lawn care and preparation:

Preparing Your Lawn for Winter with Superior Lawn Care

  1. Reduce Lawn Traffic: As the temperature drops, your lawn begins to frost and can weaken significantly if walked on multiple times. To reduce the risk of damage, it’s important to keep off your lawn as much as possible during this time.
  2. Clean Up Your Lawn: The beautiful fall leaves might add a picturesque ambiance to your home, but they can block sunlight, essential for your lawn’s survival. To maintain your lawn’s health, either mulch these leaves into smaller pieces or rake and dispose of them.
  3. Freshen Up Your Plant Beds: Winter preparation also involves cleaning out leaves and plant debris from around your plants. Doing this prevents the accumulation of mold and mildew. Also, remember to apply a 2-3″ deep mulch around your plants after the first hard freeze to protect their roots.
  4. Fertilize: As your plants start responding to changes in temperature and daylight, it’s the perfect time to fertilize your lawn. Doing so feeds active grass roots, enabling them to store more nutrients for winter, ensuring a quick return to lush green in spring. This is best left to a professional to prevent damage to the lawn.
  5. Don’t put away your lawnmower: Mowing the lawn might seem counterintuitive in colder weather, but it helps your grass to receive water and sunlight more efficiently. Continue to mow until the growing season ends, and remember to trim at the mower’s lowest setting for the last two mows before winter.
