Harness the Power of Your Lawn Mower this Fall

Autumn's arrival doesn't spell the end of your lawn care duties. As leaves change and temperatures dip, your trusted lawn mower reassumes a critical role in yard maintenance. Read on to learn about maximizing its use in the fall.

Keeping the Grass Healthy

During fall, grass may not grow as rapidly, but regular mowing still contributes significantly to your lawn's well-being. Cutting grass to the optimal height minimizes succumbing to winter diseases and ensures a healthier rebound come spring. Remember to keep your mower blades sharp for a clean cut that limits possible disease transmission.

Leaf Mulching

Autumn leaves can suffocate your lawn if left unchecked. Instead of a rake-and-bag approach, consider using your lawn mower for leaf mulching. Effective mulching chops leaves into tiny pieces that quickly decompose, enriching the soil with organic matter and nutrients – essentially free lawn food!

Final Mow Before Winter

Before winter hits in full force, plan a final mow—its importance can't be overstated! This final trim reduces the chances of snow mold formation and unwanted pests hitching a ride into spring on long grass blades.
