Fix bare spots and dead grassA lot of lawns have weathered blistering heat and devastating drought this summer and look worse for the wear. September and October are the key times to sow new grass seed to make repairs. Tips on aerating your lawn this fallHardly anyone thinks about the dirt the grass grows in, but the health of the soil is a key component to a great lawn. Grass does best in soil that drains well and has a rich, loamy texture. Healthy lawns start with fall fertilizationSummer takes a lot out of the lawn, including the roots of the grass. In summer, grass roots get smaller as the top growth uses its underground reserves to stay alive. An application of fall fertilizer promotes root growth and prepares the lawn as it goes into winter. Mow leaves to nourish landscape and lawnAllowing leaves to accumulate on the lawn will smother and kill the grass or invite diseases and insects. The best tool for the job may be the mulching mower. |
