The best time to mow is in the evening when the grass is dry and the temperatures have cooled off. Remember the golden watering rule still applies: water more, less often. It\u2019s important to continue to allow the water to completely soak into the lawn so that the root system can adequately absorb the water and nutrients.<\/p> <h3>Raise the Mower Blade<\/h3> <p>Raising the mower blade will raise the mowing height. Your lawn needs to be mowed at the appropriate length unique to its grass type.<\/p> <p>Popular <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/north-carolina\/raleigh-nc\/best-grass-types-raleigh\/\">Grass Types in Raleigh, NC<\/a><\/p> <ul> <li><strong>Fescue:<\/strong> 2 &#8211; 3 inches<\/li> <li><strong>St. Augustine:<\/strong> 2 &#8211; 3 inches<\/li> <li><strong>Bermuda:<\/strong> 1 &#8211; 2 inches<\/li> <li><strong>Zoysia:<\/strong> 1 &#8211; 1.5 inches<\/li> <\/ul> <p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-95101 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/3563986068_7b309a97d8_o-1.jpg\" alt=\"close up of the bottom of a lawn mower and blade\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/3563986068_7b309a97d8_o-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/3563986068_7b309a97d8_o-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/3563986068_7b309a97d8_o-1-646x430.jpg 646w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/3563986068_7b309a97d8_o-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/3563986068_7b309a97d8_o-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p> <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/pegwinn\/3563986068\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Phil Gwinn<\/a> \/ Flickr \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CC BY 2.0<\/a><\/em><\/p> <p>Keep in mind that a sharp mower blade produces clean cuts, so after the last cut of the season it\u2019s important to remember to sharpen the mower blade. While you\u2019re at it go ahead and clean out the buildup of grass, dirt, and roots from the the undercarriage of the mower, too.<\/p> <h3>Aerate the Lawn<\/h3> <p>Over time the soil can become compacted, making it difficult for the roots to absorb adequate amounts of air, water, and nutrients. The primary causes of soil compaction are heavy traffic and the cold winter frost. Aerating your lawn will alleviate the soil compaction. Aeration involves perforating the lawn with tiny holes by removing small plugs from soil. Topdressing immediately after aerating is a good way to capitalize on your labor.<\/p> <h3>Fertilization<\/h3> <p>Granular lawn fertilizer should be applied to Fescue lawns toward the middle of the season. Bermuda will benefit from a \u201cwinterizer\u201d fertilizer six weeks before the estimated first frost of the season. Do not fertilize Zoysia, Centipede, or St. Augustine grasses because warm-season grasses are busy preparing for their winter dormancy period.<\/p> <h3>Plant Fescue Seed<\/h3> <p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-118592 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/packet-of-seeds.jpeg\" alt=\"a person holding a packet of seeds\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/packet-of-seeds.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/packet-of-seeds-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/packet-of-seeds-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/packet-of-seeds-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p> <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/stock.adobe.com\/images\/woman-is-holding-a-bag-of-grass-seeds-in-her-hands\/295433412?asset_id=295433412\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">agneskantaruk<\/a> \/ Adobe Stock Free \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/stock.adobe.com\/license-terms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">License<\/a><\/em><\/p> <p>As with shrubs, trees, etc., sowing Fescue seed in the fall allows the grass\u2019 root system to establish itself before the stressful summer heat comes back around. Reseeding has a bunch of benefits, such as creating a denser lawn and helps to prevent broad leaf growth. Remember that, like anything else, grass grows old and dies. So reseeding helps prevent that. Use 6 pounds of seed per 1000 square feet and mulch with wheat straw to hold soil moisture and protect the seed from birds. To apply the seed, use a broadcast spreader and apply at the targeted rate.<\/p> <h3>Apply a Pre-Emergent<\/h3> <p>Apply a pre-emergent to your lawn to control winter weeds such as poa annua (annual bluegrass), henbit, chickweed, etc. Remember if you\u2019re planning to sow seed in the fall then do not apply pre-emergent to your lawn. Not only will the pre-emergent prevent the weeds from germinating, but it will also prevent the seeds from germinating as well.<\/p> <p>That\u2019s it for our basic fall lawn care tips. Follow these and your lawn should be lush and green come next spring!<\/p> <p>Have questions about lawn care?
