Fall Lawn Care Tips
It's that time of year again! In this climate, you have one time of year to really get your grass growing, and that time is now! Here are several tips to get your lawn looking it's best:
1) Between now and October 15 is the best time to over-seed your lawn.
2) Prior to aerating your lawn, mow your lawn slightly lower than usual.
3) It's best to aerate, over-seed and fertilize in the same day.
4) Before aeration, water your lawn throughly the day before to achieve better results. If your lawn is really struggling, go over it multiple times with an aerator, or hire a service to aerate. Aerators can be rented from home improvement stores and rental companies at a daily rate. Book early!!! This time of year, landscape companies will be leaving flyers in our mailboxes.
5) After aeration, over-seed your yard at the rate indicate on the bag of grass seed. Most lawns in Southampton are fescue grass. You may also chose to apply lime at the rate on the bag.
6) Once you over-seed, apply starter fertilizer. Again, follow the instructions on the bag.
7) You can apply peat moss over the fairly bare areas. This will help the area maintain moisture and will improve germination. NEVER USE HAY/STRAW since it carries weeds!!!
8) Water daily for the first 10 days. After 10 days, water 2-3 times weekly for optimal growth.
9) One to two months after over-seeding, apply winter fertilizer at the rate on the bag to strengthen and protect your new grass through the winter months. This will also help your grass remain green throughout the winter.
10) Do not rake leaves off your new yard. To protect your new grass, it is best to pick up debris by hand or utilize a blower lightly to remove leaves.
11) When the grass reaches 4-5 inches, it's time to mow. Don't leave clumps of grass on the mowed lawn.
12) If any areas of grass have not germinated over-seed them now and cover with peat moss.
Additional advice: If your lawn is over 50% weeds, it's time to rethink your game plan. It may be best to contact a professional.
GOOD LUCK!!!
