Your grass is about to go dormant. Before it does, make sure it has all it needs for a successful start in the spring ahead. To do that, Lawn Doctor of Columbus can help. We understand fall lawn care in the Columbus, OH area and what steps to take to yield dazzling results. Just some to consider include:
Raking up leaves. Leaves are nice to enjoy on trees. But once they drop, don’t let them pile up, block light, and trap wetness. This can set the stage for infestations and infections. Instead, make sure you’re regularly raking your lawn, at least once a week.
Dealing with compacted soil. When kids are playing and pets are running, your lawn takes a beating that can lead to soil compaction. Relieve the pressure by aerating your lawn, creating channels for nutrients, oxygen, and water to reach roots.
Seeding burned out or damaged areas. One of the best ways to improve health and appearance is by seeding. This will fix and fill in bare areas damaged by summer sun and drought. It will also help ensure they’re not vulnerable to opportunistic weeds and diseases.
Delivering a nutrient-rich fertilizer application. Getting and keeping your lawn in great shape requires the right care in the form of critical nutrients delivered during the Columbus area’s fall. These help encourage summer repair and prepare turf for the winter ahead so it has adequate energy reserves. Just make sure you apply it before the weather gets too cold.
Mowing your grass to the right height. Keep up on routine cuts until dormancy, never removing more than a third at a time. If you cut grass too short, you’ll scalp it and cause lawn stress heading into winter, making it weaker and more vulnerable in the months ahead.
