As the chilly embrace of November settles in, we’re greeted with beautiful frosty mornings. To help you maintain a lush and vibrant lawn, we have some essential tips to share that are imperative to understand at this time of year.
With the drop in temperatures, your lawn enters a crucial hardening phase in preparation for the upcoming winter. This process is vital for its health. During these first few frosts, your lawn works to store its food reserves and expels excess water to guard against deep freeze damage. However, in doing so, it also becomes more fragile. Excessive foot traffic during this time can lead to damage, resulting in brown patches and a slower recovery in the following spring. Do your best to remain off the lawn if you see frost in the early morning.
To safeguard your lawn during this time of year, it’s important to pay attention to your mowing habits as well. Wait until the frost has dissipated before mowing, and when you do, maintain a mowing height of 3 inches. This height helps to prevent damage and better aids the lawn for its upcoming winter dormancy.
