Can you believe that fall is right around the corner? Now is
a great time to start transitioning your lawn to the fall season. As a company
that provides lawn care to
Minnetonka residential and commercial clients, we have a few tips for you
on how to keep your lawn looking great no matter what time of year it is.
Mowing Height
It is time to adjust the mowing height of your lawnmower. If
you raised it during the summer months, reposition it so your grass will be
about two inches tall after it has been mowed. If your lawn is a little shorter
during the fall season, this is a great lawn care technique because it will
prevent the grass from matting down under the weight of snow and leaves. But
don’t cut your grass too short either because that can lead to weeds.
Water Your Lawn
Grass and other plants still need to be watered even as the
weather cools down. Try to water your lawn once or twice a week if there has
not been a lot of rain. If you have an irrigation system, it should be
reprogrammed for the fall months. Talk to the professionals at Advanced
Irrigation.
Weed Your Lawn and
Garden
Fall is the best time of year for this lawn care chore. Weed
killer sprays work the best when the temperatures are moderate and when the
soil is moist. A little weed prevention now will help when the spring rolls
around again.
Rake Debris
It is time to do one of the most dreaded lawn care chores:
raking. Get rid of any leaves that have accumulated and any thatch that has
accumulated too. Keeping up with this chore will help your grass grow next
spring!
