Now that Summer is unofficially over, here are a few general lawn maintenance tips to get your lawn ready for the cooler Fall temperatures.
Mowing
Cut your lawn 1 to 2″ shorter than summer heights. Shorter grass prevents matting it down under leaves and snow.
Watering
In cooler weather, your lawn still needs about 1” of water per week.
Raking
Leaves on the lawn block sunlight and trap moisture. Rake often or try a mulching mower to keep your grass clear of debris.
Feeding
This is the best time to feed your lawn and help it through winter. When summer arrives, your lawn will be ready to shine.
