6 Lawn Care Tips to Prep Your Yard For Winter
The time for lush summer lawns is past, but fall is the perfect time to prep your yard for the next growing season. T & L Tree And Landscape, New York's lawn care specialists serving Macedon, have some tips for helping you get your yard ready for winter.
- Aerate The Grass: The moisture of autumn promotes strong root growth, but first the water has to penetrate the surface. On a small yard, you can use a garden fork, but for bigger jobs, you might need a walk-behind aerator.
- Fertilize For Winter: Grass roots keep growing until temperatures drop near freezing, so use a high-phosphorus mix to encourage lush, green grass next spring.
- Mow One Last Time: Cut the grass pretty short to keep leaves from accumulating on your lawn and help prevent diseases.
- Compost Your Leaves: Collect the leaves from your lawn, but don't throw them away. Letting them set in a compost bin, with weekly flipping, will create a rich fertilizer your lawn will love when spring hits.
- Plant Shrubs: If you've been thinking of planting new shrubs, doing it in the fall will let them take advantage of the cool weather and abundant water to establish a strong root system.
- Trim Back Your Trees: Take the chance to trim back dead branches to keep them from falling on your home, but leave big tree pruning jobs to the professionals.
