Fall is when you make next spring’s lawn.
Keep mowing, then lower it
Grass grows until a hard frost. Drop the blade a notch for the last cuts so it doesn’t mat under snow.
Aerate and overseed
Cool-season grass roots best in fall. Aerate compacted soil, then overseed thin and bare spots.
Feed the roots
A fall winterizer fertilizer builds roots for a thick green lawn next spring.
