🌿 Autumn Lawn Care Guide: 7 Tips for a Perfect Lawn 🍂
With autumn around the corner and summer fading away, now is the ideal moment to give your lawn some much-needed TLC. In this video, we'll dive into seven simple lawn care tips to ensure your grass is lush and healthy throughout the season.
🌱 Tip 1: Mowing Matters 🚜
Is it okay to mow your lawn in September? Absolutely! Regular mowing is key to a beautiful lawn. Avoid the mistake of letting your grass grow too tall and then chopping it down. Instead, adopt the practice of consistent, regular mowing. Choose a mowing height that suits your schedule, typically between 30mm and 50mm, to keep your lawn looking its best.
Autumn is the perfect time to replenish essential nutrients in your lawn. Look for a controlled-release fertilizer, like a 10-5-10 blend, to provide both quick results and long-lasting nourishment. This will boost the greenness and thickness of your lawn while protecting it from seasonal diseases.
Whether you're starting a new lawn or revitalizing an existing one, September is prime time for seeding. Clear out thatch and debris, creating ideal conditions for grass seed to make direct contact with the soil. Visit our website for a variety of grass seed options tailored to your specific lawn type.
🌿 Tip 4: Scarify for Health 🍂
Consider scarification to prepare your lawn for seeding or other improvements. This process involves removing thatch and debris that can block essential nutrients and water from reaching your grass. By scarifying in multiple directions, you'll open up the soil profile for better growth.
Moss can be a persistent issue, especially after a rainy season. To remove moss effectively, scarify or rake it first to weaken the plant. Then, consider applying an iron sulfate treatment to turn the moss black and dehydrate it, making it easier to remove. Say goodbye to moss before fertilizing or seeding.
🌿 Tip 6: Winning the Weed Battle 🌱
Weeds come in two main categories: grassy and broadleaf. Address grassy weeds by treating andreseeding affected areas. For broadleaf weeds like dandelions and clover, use a selective weed treatment. Act now, as autumn is the time when these weeds thrive.
