🍂 Autumn Lawn Maintenance Tips

With A&R Integrative Lawn Care and Landscaping

As the leaves begin to change and the air turns crisp, it’s time to prepare your lawn for the cooler months ahead. Fall is a crucial season for lawn care—what you do now can make all the difference come spring.

At A&R Integrative Lawn Care and Landscaping, we want to help you protect your investment and keep your commercial lawn looking its best. Here are our top tips to ensure your grass stays healthy, vibrant, and ready to thrive once winter ends.

🌱 1. Seed Your Lawn

Early fall is one of the best times to seed your lawn. The soil is still warm enough to encourage growth, but cool enough to protect young seedlings.

👉 Tip: Aim to seed when soil temperatures are between 50–65°F, typically six to eight weeks before the first frost. This gives new grass enough time to establish roots before winter.

🌬 2. Aerate for Better Airflow

Over time, soil can become compacted, especially in high-traffic areas. Aerating loosens the soil, improving water and nutrient absorption and increasing air circulation to the root zone.
👉 A well-aerated lawn is more resilient and grows in thicker and healthier in the spring.

🍁 3. Rake Leaves and Remove Debris

Fallen leaves might be pretty, but they can smother your lawn if left too long. Moisture can get trapped underneath, encouraging mold and disease.

👉 Rake regularly or use a mulching mower to keep your grass clear and breathing.

✂️ 4. Keep Mowing—But Adjust the Height

Grass growth slows in fall, but it doesn’t stop right away. Continue mowing as needed, keeping your lawn trimmed to about 2.5–3 inches in height.

👉 This prevents grass from mating under snow and reduces the risk of disease while still allowing enough blade length to absorb sunlight.

🌾 5. Fertilize in Early Fall

Early fall fertilization gives your lawn the nutrients it needs to repair summer damage and build strong roots for winter.

👉 Combine this with a slightly reduced watering schedule, as cooler temperatures mean your lawn retains moisture longer.

✅ A&R Lawn Care and Landscaping Tip: Don’t Wait, Start Now

Fall lawn care sets the foundation for a lush, green lawn in spring. Whether you prefer DIY or want professional support, now is the time to act.
