🍂 Almost Fall: Winter Prep Tips for Your Lawn from MVP Lawncare

As summer fades and the crisp air of fall begins to settle in, it’s the perfect time to start preparing your lawn for the colder months ahead. At MVP Lawncare, we believe that a well-cared-for lawn in fall leads to a healthier, greener yard come spring. Here are a few essential tips to help you get ahead of winter and protect your investment:

1. Keep Mowing — But Lower the Blade

Continue mowing your lawn as long as it’s growing. As temperatures drop, gradually lower your mower blade to help prevent snow mold and reduce the risk of disease.

2. Aerate for Better Breathing

Fall is ideal for aeration. This process opens up compacted soil, allowing water, nutrients, and oxygen to reach the roots — giving your lawn the strength it needs to endure winter.

3. Feed Your Lawn One Last Time

Apply a slow-release fertilizer in early fall. This final feeding helps roots grow deeper and stores nutrients for a strong spring comeback. Check out this article from Scotts https://scotts.com/en-us/lawn-care-101/the-benefits-of-fall-feeding.html

4. Clear the Leaves — Don’t Let Them Smother

A blanket of leaves may look seasonal, but it can suffocate your grass and invite pests. Regular raking or mulching keeps your lawn breathing and healthy.

5. Seed Bare Spots

Fall’s cooler temps and moisture make it a great time to over-seed thin or bare areas. A little attention now means fuller coverage later.
