Stick to the golden rule of mowing: never remove more than one-third of the grass blades at a time. Cutting too much can stress your lawn, making it more susceptible to damage and disease.<\/p>    <p>Avoid the temptation to give your grass a short final mow of the season. Instead, err on the safe side and keep the height consistent to help your lawn stay healthy as it transitions into winter. Additionally, ensure your mower blades are sharp to make clean cuts, as dull blades can tear the grass and increase the risk of disease.<\/p>    <p><strong>See Related:<\/strong><br>&#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/lawn-care-2\/mowing-height-last-mow-low\/\">Mowing Height Debate: Last Mow of the Season Low?<\/a><br>&#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/lawn-care-2\/lawn-mowing-tips-cut-grass\/\">Lawn Mowing Tips: How to Mow a Lawn the Right Way<\/a><br>&#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/lawn-care-2\/how-to-sharpen-lawn-mower-blades\/\">How to Sharpen Lawn Mower Blades<\/a><\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-fertilize-the-grass\">Fertilize the Grass<\/h2>    <figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/rsz_shutterstock_1177125406-1.jpg\" alt=\"Lawn fertilizer is spread by hand with a T-shaped tool that spreads fertilizer from both sides of an arrow-shaped element\" class=\"wp-image-117632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/rsz_shutterstock_1177125406-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/rsz_shutterstock_1177125406-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/rsz_shutterstock_1177125406-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/rsz_shutterstock_1177125406-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/lawn-fertilizer-being-spread-by-hand-1177125406\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shutterstock<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>    <p>Fall is the best time to fertilize cool-season grass in your San Jose lawn, but warm-season grass can also benefit from a fall application.

While a thin layer of thatch is healthy and protects the soil, a layer that becomes too thick \u2014 over <strong>1.5 inches<\/strong> \u2014 can prevent water, air, and nutrients from reaching the roots, weakening your lawn over time.<\/p>    <p>Dethatching helps remove this excess buildup, ensuring your grass gets the essentials it needs to thrive. Most lawns benefit from dethatching once a year, but some grass types, like tall fescue, may require it only every few years. For the best results, dethatch your lawn in <strong>early fall<\/strong> in San Jose.<\/p>    <p><strong>See Related:<\/strong><br>&#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/lawn-care-2\/dethatching-your-lawn-a-comprehensive-guide\/\">When and How to Dethatch Your Lawn<\/a><br>&#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/lawn-care-2\/dethatch-and-aerate-at-same-time\/\">Can You Dethatch and Aerate at the Same Time?<\/a><br>&#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/lawn-care-2\/benefits-dethatching-lawn\/\">Benefits of Dethatching the Lawn<\/a><br>&#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/cost\/lawn-dethatching-price\/\">How Much Does Lawn Dethatching Cost?<\/a><\/p>    <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-thicken-your-lawn-by-overseeding\">Thicken Your Lawn by Overseeding<\/h2>    <figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/rsz_shutterstock_136965278.jpg\" alt=\"Close-up of person pouring grass seed out of their hand\" class=\"wp-image-43390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/rsz_shutterstock_136965278.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/rsz_shutterstock_136965278-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/rsz_shutterstock_136965278-646x430.jpg 646w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/rsz_shutterstock_136965278-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/rsz_shutterstock_136965278-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/image-photo\/hand-planting-grass-seed-overseeding-green-136965278\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shutterstock<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>    <p>If you have warm-season grass and want your lawn to stay green during the cooler months, consider overseeding with a cool-season grass like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/lawn-care-2\/perennial-ryegrass\/\">perennial ryegrass<\/a> in the fall.
