If you wish to improve your lawn, then the fall is the perfect season to do so. Warm days and cool nights give the perfect condition for your yard for a makeover. It’s important for one to be aware Here are some eco-friendly and green lawn care tips that will help to improve the soil and turf on your garden in a natural way.

Mow
You should not stop mowing the lawn even if the growth has slowed down. Keep the grass to a height of two or three inches. Grass which is very short becomes a victim of the cold winter, causing damage. The grass which is taller also will face damage from the snow which will cause it to bend or make it susceptible to fungus or snow mold.

Rake
You cannot stop the leaves from falling but you need to pick them or rake them. Leaving the leaves on the grass will cause bald spots in it by killing the grass. The leaves trap moisture and block the light, making them soggy and causing decay patches in the grass. You need to mow and rake the grass both are powerful tools. The mower cannot reach the area where the leaves pile up.

Aerate
The soil can become compact in no time so you need to aerate it at least every other year. This will remove the small plugs for the turf which will allow nutrients, oxygen, and water to reach into the soil and this supports a healthy ecosystem. But you need to use the right tools. Aerating by just poking holes in the ground without removing the small plugs will worsen the compact ground. Aerating is down after mowing and is to be followed by overseeding. You will only see the difference in spring when there are very few weeds.

Overseed
Planting grass seed in the hot summer days is the worst time to do so. The best growth conditions for grass seeds are found in autumn warm days and cool nights. Before you overseed do a little research on which is the right grass seed for your yard. Apply to thin areas to thicken the lawn. A thick and dense lawn is strong and self-sufficient make it hard for the weeds to grow.

Fertilize
The grass you see is just a small section of the plant. Fertilizers are made of chemicals and turn the grass green but do not provide nutrients to the roots via the soil. Organic fertilizers put the microorganisms and nutrients back in the soil. This will repair summer damage, encourage healthy root growth, and replenish the nutrients and the grass will thrive when spring returns.
