Different seasons of the year tend to be optimal for certain different landscaping or lawn care projects, and the fall season we’re just entering is a great example. In particular, fall is often perfect for “fixing” the lawn and remedying or preventing issues like disease, insect damage or drought concerns from the hot summer.
And at Logan Extermination, we’re here to help. We offer an unmatched range of lawn care services to clients around Logan and nearby areas, including basic lawn maintenance and many specialty services designed to keep your lawn in great shape year-round. Here are some examples of things you can be doing in fall to not only maintain your lawn, but also to fix any issues that persist from the dry Utah summer we’ve just come out of.
Fertilization
As we get into the later parts of fall, it’s a great time to fertilize your lawn. This will give it the nutrients it needs to survive the colder winter months and emerge strong in the spring. Fertilizing in fall also helps encourage root growth, leading to a thicker and healthier lawn.
In fact, many landscaping professionals consider the final fertilization before winter to be the most important one of the year. It sets your lawn up for success in the following growing season and can greatly improve its overall health.
Re-Seeding or Overseeding
Because the hot summer may have led to patchy or thin areas in your lawn, fall is a great time to re-seed or overseed these spots. This involves spreading grass seed over bare patches or thin areas to promote new growth and fill in any gaps.
In particular, our team at Logan Extermination often recommends and assists clients with the incorporation of new grass seed varieties into existing lawns during this fall season. This can have a great impact on disease and insect prevention by diversifying the types of grass and making it more difficult for pests or diseases to take hold. This is also often quite helpful with drought tolerance, something important in our area.
Weed Control
As temperatures drop back down from their peak summer levels, weeds will begin to die off. However, many of them will still be present and active in the fall season before they finally disappear for winter.
This makes fall an excellent time to apply weed control measures to your lawn. Our team can help you identify and target common weeds in the Logan area, plus provide you with tips on how to prevent them from coming back in future years.
As you can see, fall is a crucial time for lawn care and maintenance. At Logan Extermination, we have the expertise and resources to help you keep your lawn healthy and beautiful during this season and beyond.
