Many lawn w**ds are still actively growing in the fall, making this an important time to address them. Fall w**d control can help reduce unwanted competition and set your lawn up for a cleaner start next spring.

Don’t let w**ds get the last word this season!

Strong roots start with good fall care.

Fall is an important time to give your lawn the nutrients it needs. 🌱🍂

After a long summer, fall fertilization helps support healthy root growth, encourages turf recovery and prepares your lawn for the colder months ahead.

The care you give your lawn this fall can make a difference when spring rolls around!

Aeration creates openings in the soil, helping relieve compaction and allowing air, water and nutrients to better reach the root zone. Those openings also give new grass seed better contact with the soil.

Pairing aeration with overseeding can help fill in thin areas, improve turf density and give your lawn a stronger start heading into next season.

Is your lawn looking a little thin after summer? 🌱

Overseeding introduces new grass seed into existing turf to help fill in bare or thin areas and improve the overall density of your lawn.

Early fall provides favorable conditions for new grass to get established before winter—and a thicker lawn can also help crowd out w**ds.

Over time, soil can become compacted, making it harder for air, water and nutrients to reach the roots. Core aeration helps loosen compacted soil and creates better growing conditions for your lawn.

Fall is a great time to aerate and give your turf a boost after the stress of summer.
