Think of the “lawn season” as beginning in September. In the fall, grass starts storing up nutrients and moisture in preparation for dormant winter months. Steps you take in the fall will set you up for success next spring and summer.

Lower Your Mower
Keep grass about 1 inch shorter than normal in the fall to avoid trapping too much moisture, which can lead to disease.
Don’t Leave the Leaves
Mow over or rake away leaves to avoid suffocating grass.
Tidy Up
Remove items from the law — toys, furniture, etc. — to avoid dead spots.
Drain Your Pipes
If the frost level extends below the depth of your irrigation system, shut off the water and drain before the first freeze to avoid burst pipes.
Prep for Spring
Clean equipment and sharpen mower blades so you’re ready to go in spring.
