Mowing

Aerating in the fall reduces soil compaction allowing water, oxygen and nutrients to flow through the surface. This allows the roots of the plant to grow deeper and stronger for a better looking and healthier lawn.

Rakes and blowers aren’t your only options for leaves. Mulching mowers can shred leaves into fine particles that settle into the soil, naturally compost, and return nutrients to your lawn. With a little consistency, it’s an easy way to enrich your soil, check out our 1-minute video to learn more!

As grass prepares for winter, it moves nutrients down to the roots for storage, making now a great time to fertilize. Late-season seeding is also effective, as seed will stay dormant through winter and germinate quickly once soil temperatures warm in spring.
