Fall Planning - Think Ahead
Fall Planning - Think Ahead
With football just around the corner comes fall weather. Fall is the perfect time to get your lawn in optimal conditions after battling summer heat. The cooler fall weather gives your lawn a chance to grow lush before winter. The end of August is the perfect time to plan ahead for fall and here are a few things to consider when planning…
- Aerate - Aerating is the number one thing you can do to ensure a healthy lawn. August 15–October 15 are the ideal time to schedule an aeration. Aerating your lawn is crucial to proper root hydration.
- Overseed - Overseeding after aerating is a great way to promote a healthy lawn and introduce new disease resistant varieties.Overseeding is ideally done before the end of September when the seeds will have a chance to take root and enjoy the milderweather. A second pre-winter overseeding can done around mid-November or later and will allow the seeds to stay dormant until spring arrives. Always be sure to overseed after you’ve aerated.
- Check System - Fall is the perfect time to check your system to ensure it’s running properly. After a full spring and summer season, it can sometimes be necessary to tweak your system or check to make sure everything is functioning at optimal settings.
- New plantings - Fall is also a great time for plantings and landscaping. If you’re going to call your landscaper, be sure to also call Judson Irrigation to ensure that new landscaping is properly irrigated.
