A little bit of maintenance in the fall goes a long way toward making your lawn look GREAT in the spring and summer, and will also winterize your grass. Spend some time outside on a beautiful Autumn day working on your lawn and it will really pay off next growing season. Get the whole family involved it’s a great way to spend a fall afternoon.

Things You’ll Need:
  • Leaf Rake
  • Metal Rake
  • Weed B Gon or similar product
  • Fall formula fertalizer-Scotts is the best
  • Garden soil
  • Grass seed
  • Lawn aerator
  1. It’s a good idea to get started on Fall lawn care before too many leaves fall. If you have lots of leaves rake them up so you can take care of problem areas in your grass.
  2. Spray any weeds that you see with Weed B Gon or an other product made to kill weeds in grass. Pull out weeds that come out easily. It’s important to get rid of seed pods so they don’t sprout in the Spring.
  3. If you have dead patches of grass rough them up with a stiff metal rake until you get down to dirt. Rough up the dirt with the rake, sprinkle a layer of grass seed on to the dirt. Try to find seed that is the same as your lawn. Cover with a generous layer of fresh garden soil. The seeds will stay dormant until spring
  4. Aerate your whole lawn. You can rent an aerator.  If you get together with neighbors you can share the cost. Leave the grass plugs on the lawn, they’re good organic material and will be broken down by spring.
  5. Use a Fall formulation fertilizer with weed prevention, Scotts Fall is the best. The fall formulation helps form strong roots and prevents weeds in the spring. Regular fertilizer encourages growth and you don’t want to do that until Spring.
