BLOG Autumn Leaves & Lawn Care: Preparing Your Yard for the Fall with 207 Seasonal Services Jun 21, 2024

As the temperatures start to drop and the leaves begin to change color, it's important to start thinking about preparing your yard for the fall season. At 207 Seasonal Services, we understand the importance of maintaining a beautiful and healthy lawn year-round. That's why we've put together a guide to help you get your yard ready for the autumn months.

One of the first steps in preparing your yard for fall is to tackle the leaves. While they may look beautiful as they fall from the trees, leaving them on your lawn can block sunlight and prevent water from reaching the grass. It's essential to rake or mow up fallen leaves regularly to ensure that your lawn can breathe and receive the nutrients it needs to stay healthy.

In addition to removing leaves, it's also essential to aerate your lawn in the fall. Aeration helps to loosen compacted soil, allowing water, air, and nutrients to reach the roots of your grass more effectively. This process encourages healthier root growth and leads to a more robust lawn come springtime.

Fall is also an excellent time to fertilize your lawn. Applying a high-quality fertilizer in the autumn months can help your grass recover from the stress of summer and prepare it for the cold winter ahead. At 207 Seasonal Services, we offer fertilization services that are specifically tailored to the needs of your lawn, ensuring that it receives the nutrients it needs to thrive.

Another critical aspect of fall lawn care is overseeding. Overseeding involves spreading grass seed over your existing lawn to promote new growth and fill in any bare patches. This process helps to thicken your lawn and improve its overall appearance. Our team at 207 Seasonal Services can help you determine the best seed mixture for your specific lawn and overseed it properly to achieve optimal results.

Finally, don't forget to continue mowing your lawn throughout the fall months. While the growth rate of your grass may slow down as the temperatures drop, it's still essential to keep it well-maintained. Regular mowing helps to prevent disease, discourage pests, and promote healthy growth.
