Time to Keep up With Your Lawn

Despite the weather this week in the Delaware Valley, it is actually autumn.  As the season changes from summer to autumn, it’s easy to forget the overall health of your lawn.  What you do, or don’t do, this time of year with your lawn, could have some consequences next spring.

First, the autumn season is the best time of year for seeding your lawn in preparation for next spring.  The cooler temperatures this time of year, mixed in with the morning dew and typical rain fall, helps seedlings take root.  By seeding your lawn now, you are planting the seeds to a greener, brighter, fresher lawn next spring.

The fall season is a good time for fertilizing your lawn too.  Although your lawn starts to shut down this time of year, fertilizing now will help strengthen your lawns roots.
