- Mow low from here on out. Lower the height of your mower to 2″ to help your grass resist matting under leaves or the snowfalls that are on the horizon.
- Don’t turn the water off just yet. Keep watering once or twice each week to ensure your grasses roots are strong and stable.
- Seed your lawn. Sow grass seed now so it has time to take root. This should remove any bare spots by spring.
- Fertilize everything. Your grass, trees, and shrubs should get a solid dose of fertilizer right now. Be sure to follow the instructions on your fertilizer to avoid dispersing too much.
- Kill the weeds. Using herbicides now will keep dandelions, clovers, and other weeds from popping up in the spring.
