Lawn Maintenance Steps to Help You Winterize Your Turf
Most lawns in the area are cool-season ones that go dormant in winter. Once the first hard freeze happens, they stop growing. Before that winter weather arrives in Bucks County, put your grass to bed with the proper lawn maintenance steps. These include:
Ending mowing properly. Mow your lawn until it stops growing. In that last cut, remove a little more height than usual, cutting it to around 2 to 2½ inches. This will get more sunlight to grass plants over winter and prevent the chance of snow mold infecting your lawn.
Raking your lawn. When you rake your lawn, do more than remove the leaves that cover it. Also focus on breaking up any areas with heavy surface thatch. This layer can sit on top of your soil and prevent essentials, like sunlight, water, and oxygen, from penetrating into the soil.
Checking your home’s perimeter for pests. When the weather starts turning, pests will look for a cozy place to nest. That often means inside your home, getting there through cracks and crevices in the foundation. Stop this from happening by looking for vulnerable spots and treating them, if needed.
