The Changes in The Fall Season

Fall lawn care is very specific and differs from that required during the rest of the year. No one is ever in the mood to go outside and work in the garden during those frosty winter days. This is why you need to hire someone to do all the work for you. Lombardo’s Lawn Care offers many types of services specially designed for the fall season.

Leaf Removal

The task that requires the most legwork during fall is leaf removal and it is a very important job as well. Leaves can stack up and prevent sunlight from reaching the grass causing it to die very quickly. Dead leaves also harbor mold and many harmful diseases which can completely ruin your lawn. The leaves should be cleared at least once a week to keep the grass healthy.
One benefit of dead leaves is that it makes excellent fodder for organic compost and you can use it to fertilize the lawn when it decomposes.

Seeding and Sodding

Seeding and sodding in the fall time produces the best results during the spring. If you want your lawn to look beautiful then the best way is to sod during fall and allow the roots to develop and grow. Planting seeds early give them all winter months to germinate and it results in a lush green garden as opposed to planting them in the spring.
Slow and steady wins the race which is why you should have us sod the lawn in autumn to prepare the lawn for spring.

Fertilizing

Another aspect of lawn care is fertilization. Because the grass in homes of North America has been brought from Europe it requires the necessary nutrients to help it grow as it would in the original climate.

Warm weather grass does not require much care in the fall but cool weather grasses do. To keep the lawn healthy and lush you need to add fertilizer to help it regain the lost nutrients. The fertilizer stimulates the growth of the roots and helps grass grow.
The specific services required depends on the type of grass in your lawn although most homeowners in North America have warm or cool season grasses. To determine the type of lawn care you require you need to identify the grass in your lawn. We at Lombardo’s Lawn Care offer specialized lawn care and leaf removal services for all types of lawns.
