Although most people tend to kick off lawn renovations in the Spring, Autumn is a much better time to plan for next year’s perfect backyard. As the temperatures drop, new plants, trees, and grass seed have a chance to establish their root systems without struggling through the summer heat.
This summer was HOT, and if you’re like most of us, your lawn probably looks a little rough around the edges. The good news is that through the fall and winter months, your grass growth will slow to a crawl as the roots take a break to re-establish themselves. With these last few mows, some fertilization, a little rain and some leaf cleanup, those crispy edges will disappear in no time!
A good winterizing fertilizer is the best way to thicken your lawn and prepare your grass for next spring. We cannot stress enough how important it is to fertilize your lawn during the fall season – it is the most important treatment of the whole year! If you aren’t already on our regular lawn treatment program, please call us right away to schedule an appointment!
Grass roots aren’t the only thing to worry about either … establishing a stable root system to prepare for winter is equally important for plants and shrubs, especially if they’re new to your yard. Fall-planted shrubs, perennials, and trees enjoy the warm soil and cooler air temperatures needed to establish a good foot hold in your landscape. And by the time next summer arrives, they will be prepared for the stress of the summer heat. It’s for this reason that some of the nicest yards we see in Kansas City are those that planned ahead in the fall.
