Winter is not the time to completely ignore your yard, or fall for that matter. In fact, how you take care of your turf during fall will largely contribute to how your turf will appear during spring. If you wish for a lush, green yard, it is important to steer clear of a few fall care mistakes that most homeowners tend to make, or your turf may bear the brunt of your mistakes (negligence). Pressing the pause button on lawn care during fall is a big NO. You’ll be thankful to the lawn care measures you take during fall. If done correctly, you’ll end up with a healthy and thriving lawn during spring. If you overlook fall yard care, you’d end up with damaged turf which obviously you don’t want. Listing common fall yard care mistakes made by homeowners- by landscaping Simpsonville professionals- so you can avoid them for a lush and beautiful turf: Overwatering- This is one of the common mistakes made by homeowners. Yes, fall comes after your summer but that doesn’t mean you keep continuing on your watering spree. Just relax and do not overwater your turf, which will increase your turf’s susceptibility to diseases. Just one inch of water per week is okay. The best watering practice is to water 3-4 days in a week, and when you do it do so deeply that will facilitate deep roots development. Using dull mower blades for the task- Lawn care is incomplete without mowing. Mowing is at the center of a healthy turf. However, the results are as good as your mowing practices. Mowing incorrectly can be a serious setback for the yard care process. Some good mowing practices to follow include not using a mower with dull blades and do not cut more than one-third of the grass (set your mower high). It is important to adhere to these guidelines, or you’d be putting your yard at a greater risk for weeds and diseases. Sharpen your mower blades once every year for a clean and even cut, which will help retain the aesthetics. Some other tips or mistakes to avoid:
