Have a light layer of leaves on the lawn? You may not need to rake every single one.

Running your mower over a light layer of dry leaves can chop them into small pieces that settle into the turf and break down naturally.

Less raking AND putting organic matter back into the lawn? We’ll take it. 🙌🍁

We tend to think about watering during summer heat, but trees and shrubs can still need moisture in the fall—especially if conditions have been dry.

Going into winter well-hydrated is especially important for newer plantings and evergreens. 🌲💧

Keep an eye on rainfall and give thirsty plants a drink before the ground freezes.

Cooler weather doesn’t necessarily mean mowing season is over.

As long as your grass is still growing, keep mowing as needed. Avoid letting it get extra long before winter—matted grass can create conditions for lawn problems under snow cover.

🍁 Keep mowing until your lawn tells you it’s finished for the season!

Think weeds are done for the year? Not quite!

Many broadleaf weeds are still actively growing in the fall. That means they’re also taking in nutrients as they prepare for winter.

Fall can be an excellent time to tackle weeds and give your lawn a cleaner start next spring.

Those colorful leaves look pretty on the trees… but not so much piled up on your lawn. 🍂

A heavy layer of leaves can block sunlight and trap moisture against the grass.

Rake, mulch or remove leaves regularly to keep your lawn healthy as we head toward winter.

Don’t put the lawn care away just yet!

Fall fertilization helps your lawn build stronger roots and store nutrients it can use when spring arrives.

Think of it as giving your lawn one last boost before winter. 💪🌱

October is here! 🍁

Your lawn may be slowing down, but there’s still important work happening below the surface. Fall is a great time to help strengthen roots and prepare your lawn for the winter months ahead.

A little attention now can make a BIG difference next spring! 🌱

A great spring lawn doesn’t start in spring—it starts now. 🌱🍂

Fall is an important time to help your lawn recover from summer stress, strengthen its root system and prepare for the colder months ahead.

Aeration, overseeding, fertilization and proper fall care can all contribute to healthier, stronger turf when spring returns.

Give your lawn a head start on next season!

Falling leaves are part of the season—but leaving too many on your lawn can cause problems. 🍁🌱

A heavy layer of leaves can block sunlight and airflow while trapping moisture against the turf. Keeping leaves from piling up helps your grass continue to get the light and air it needs.

Enjoy the fall color—just don’t let it smother your lawn! 🍂

Your lawn isn’t the only part of your landscape that deserves attention this fall. 🌳🍂

Take a closer look at your trees and shrubs for signs of stress, insect activity, unusual leaf discoloration or other changes. Catching potential problems early can help protect the plants that add beauty and value to your landscape.
