To minimize winter damage, you can take some preventative winterization steps in the fall. Fall fertilization helps the grass plant slow its top growth and store nutrients for the month ahead, and fall mechanical core aeration reduces soil compaction and excessive thatch, allowing fertilizer, nutrients, sunlight, and air to be better absorbed in the soil. Aeration also provides an ideal opportunity to apply seed to help maintain a thick, lush lawn for the next season.
Before winter, it’s very important to remove any large piles of grass and debris that cannot be mulched back into the lawn with your mower. Large quantities of debris will not break down quickly and will damage the lawn by suffocating it and providing a moist home to damaging disease organisms. #lawncare #lawncareservice #falllawncare #fall
