Do you wonder if you should cut your grass lower in the fall? What should you put on your lawn in the fall? This post shares great fall lawn care tips, as well as all year around.
It’s important to understand how to care for your lawn. This is because it’s usually the most unruly and unpredictable area of your property, mostly thanks to its location outside and proximity to nature. You cannot have the perfect lawn, much like you can never create the perfect house, all that matters is what’s good for you, and good for now and the near future.
New homeowners, especially those who may not have had a yard to deal with before, can find this process a little overwhelming. Yet there’s no reason to think you cannot crest this most wonderful of duties. In fact, some people often report that caring for their lawn is one of the most therapeutic and stress-busting activities they regularly engage in. That being said, if you have a thumb which is any other color than green, it’s quite okay to perform little maintenance tips to keep the garden in a state of careful, yet manageable repair.
What might this look like? Let’s try and consider that in the following words:
Incremental Management
Incremental management of your lawn can also be a great place to start. You don’t need to completely reinvent your lawn each time you want to take care of it. Simply pulling weeds today, moving and cleaning furniture to help eliminate the onset of rust while also giving the grass room to breathe and regrow – these efforts can seem minor, but practiced regularly can help a good lawn turn into a great yard. That can be a wonderful place to start.
The Proper Tools
Find the proper tools you need to care for your lawn. Weedkiller, a trowell, a hoe, a lawnmower and replacement parts for outdoor power equipment can be very helpful. If you wish to create a compost, you might find yourself learning basic woodwork to help create that frame. Remember, you can be as involved or as dispassionate with lawn maintenance as you hope. It might be that lining vegetable garden outlines is important to you. It might not be. Lawn maintenance could also simply mean fixing the gate to your back yard. Those elements really do have an affect in the long run.
Seasonal Aptitudes
Of course, taking care of a yard in fall and winter is going to be different to the summer. This means equipping yourself effectively. Preparing your yard in the fall for the winter months can involve raking leaves often, applying a nitrogen rich fertilizer, mowing until the first frost, repairing burned and dead spots, aeration, blow out your sprinklers, wrap your water main, covering the pool, and purchasing tarpaulin to stop your furniture from rusting, purchasing oil to keep hinges lubricated. In the summer, measures to deter pests, to grow your garden, to fix your lawnmower, all of this can help you. Consider what seasonal aptitudes you need to consider before applying your maintenance – it can really make a massive difference.
With this advice, we hope you can care for your garden care in the best possible manner.

This reminds me how fortunate I am that I no longer have to care for my lawn. We have regular lawn care in Florida. I still haven’t really learned how to care for this southern landscape that grows all year round!
Oh gosh Chloe, how nice is that! I’m sure year around care is really different. At least when snow comes here we get a little break 🙂
