Early Autumn Lawn Care

Fall is officially here! While the temperatures haven’t dropped below freezing just yet, your lawn may be looking not-so-green. Early autumn can bring dry conditions as well as high or fluctuating temperatures that can result in a crisp, dry lawn. The experts here at Advanced Irrigation are here to help get the most out of your lawn and keep it looking lush and well maintained for as long as possible. We can install and maintain a water sprinkler system for your Maple Gove home to ensure your lawn is getting what it needs. We’ve put together some additional information on important early autumn lawn care:

 Is your lawn getting the correct amount of mowing? This is usually a very simple chore, but it is incredibly important to help maintain your lawn’s health when it’s hot outside. And don’t over mow your lawn. The grass blades are what turn sunlight into food. Lots of food encourages the growth of a vigorous root system and healthy roots produce more grass blades and you get a thicker, lusher lawn. If you cut too often and too short, your grass won’t be able to retain the water and food it needs to grow.

Have you scheduled your fall blowout yet? Now is the time to call Advanced Irrigation to schedule a fall blow out for your water sprinkler system. This is basically a way to make sure your irrigation system and its components don’t freeze and break when the outdoor temperatures start to plummet. We will come to your home and do tasks like draining the water out of your system and draining the pipes, among other things.

Has your lawn been getting enough water throughout the growing season? Your lawn should receive about 1/3 an inch of water every two days in order to maintain deeper roots, thus helping protect against drought. A water sprinkler system can be programmed to water the lawn and ensure your yard is getting all the water it needs to grow. Plus, these systems come with a rain sensor, so it will automatically turn off or adjust the amount of water according to how much rain has fallen. A water sprinkler system is also a great way to help conserve water, and it also helps make sure every part of your yard and landscaping is getting an even amount of water through the rest of the growing season.
