Post-Summer Lawn Care in Autumn

Proper lawn care in autumn will help your lawn recover from summer stresses and prepare for the long, hard winter. It is also the easiest time to get your lawn into peak condition.

Even healthy lawns can struggle through summer and may just be coping by the end of it. Summer often brings heatwaves, BBQs, parties, home-made slip and slides and backyard sport with it. All of these add extras stress onto your lawn.

It’s also difficult to get the watering and mowing balanced during this time, which can lead to compacted soil or lack of nutrients.

But lawn care in autumn is much easier. Now is the time to take advantage of the lower temperatures and stored up energy from the summer sun. Your lawn will find it easiest to bounce back from any maintenance that needs to be done.

These simple practices will help your lawn jump back into shape and start to prepare it for the winter ahead.
