Autumn is an important time of the year for maintaining a healthy lawn as you are protecting your lawn from intemperate and stormy winter weather. By paying proper attention to your lawn in the autumn, you can help ensure that your lawn is healthy and fertile in the spring.

Here are some basic tips that you can follow for yard maintenance in the autumn:

• Mowing:

While you do not need to mow your lawn in Autumn as often as you would in summer, it is still important to do so for weed and pest control. Many experts recommend that you mow no more than one third of the grass height as this keeps the grass evenly trimmed and helps it to grow at the same height.

• Watering:

Proper watering techniques in autumn can help to maintain proper growth throughout the year. What is considered proper, however, can vary depending on where you live. You should be careful not to overwater though, as more than one inch or 1-2 hours of irrigation once or twice a week can lead to excessive top growth and saturate your lawn’s root system.

• Raking and Dethatching:

You can’t avoid it—raking is a vital part of part of proper lawn care in autumn, particularly in the early part of the season.  In raking your lawn, you are removing excess organic debris that can restrict water and airflow, thus allowing your lawn to breathe. Just be careful not to rake too harshly as doing so could remove healthy parts of your lawn.
