Autumn Lawn Care Basics
- Take care of the falling leaves that pile up on your lawn! Mulch dry leaves into tiny pieces by running over them with a lawnmower – or rake them up the old-fashioned way. If leaves pile up, they’ll block sunlight and smother your grass!
- Fertilize your lawn! Grass absorbs more nutrients in the fall to prepare for the winter months. This makes September and October a great time to give your grass extra nutrients to help it thrive through the winter.
- Take care of weeds—weeds are also going into a high-absorption mode to prepare for the winter, meaning that any weed control you use will be more effective. Many weeds undergo a second bloom and drop another round of seeds in the fall. To protect your lawn, dig them out or use herbicide before they bloom.
- Patches of lawn often die in the summertime, which is why you should reseed any dead patches in the fall to let grass grow back before the cold months.
- Don’t stop mowing! Keep cutting your grass to a height of 3 inches until the first freeze of winter, when it stops growing. Mow when the grass is long rather than following a calendar schedule.

It's Time for Fall Fertilization!
While spring and summer are often in the lawn care spotlight, the autumn months set the stage for lush, green grass the following year. By feeding your grass helpful nutrients during this season, you're promoting its long-term health.
Fall fertilization encourages the development of a strong, healthy root system. Deep, sturdy roots are crucial for anchoring your grass during the winter, preventing soil erosion and optimizing water and nutrient intake. As a result, your lawn comes out of winter thicker, greener, and better equipped to withstand the upcoming growing season.
To maximize the benefits of fall fertilization, timing is essential. Apply your chosen fertilizer several weeks before the first expected frost to allow ample time for nutrient absorption. By following this simple yet effective practice, you'll be well on your way to a year-round healthy lawn.
