September Must-Do Lawn Tasks
Fall: Ease off frequency as temps drop, but keep roots hydrated so the lawn can store energy for winter.
Fall: Gradually lower the mowing height with each cut, finishing shorter on the last mow before winter dormancy.
Fall: Treat dandelions and clover now for the best results heading into next year.
Fall: Check for grub activity before winter, since damage can go unnoticed until the lawn wakes up in spring.
A Greener Lawn Without the Weekend Work
