Some Things You Should Do With Your Yard Before Winter Shows Up


The fall season is an essential time for yard maintenance because the autumn establishes how well it comes back in the spring. Carry out these important yard-care recommendations and you will have the best lawn in the neighborhood come spring.

Wipeout Weeds

Broadleaf weeds grow promptly because of the ability to capture water and quickly go to seed. This makes fall the very best for weed killing.

Remove Leaves

I would suggest clearing all the leaves around your house. Leaf's hold moisture from rains and morning dew. The additional moisture suffocates your yard and breeds fungal diseases. 

Cut Your Grass

Many homeowners presume that with colder weather comes a declination in the growth of grass. Continue mowing and trimming your yard as necessary to keep it healthier in the fall. I suggest cutting your grass short during this season because less sunlight reaches the soil.

Aerate the Soil
Autumn is the ideal time of year to aerate the soil on your property. You can rent a gas-powered, walk-behind aerator from the local Home Depot. Aeration allows more water, oxygen and fertilizer to reach the roots of your grass easily. 

Fill in Bald Patches

The fall season is an excellent time of year to fill in those bald patches in your lawn. You should use an all-in-one lawn repair mixture since it combines grass seed, lawn fertilizer and organic mulch. I would recommend spreading over the bald spot and adding water.

Fertilize

The ideal time of year to add fertilizer is late in the fall.


Having an excellent lawn on your property helps it is reselling value. If you are considering selling your home in Waterloo / Kitchener, please consider using the services of realtor Mike Bolger.
