Lawn care after Labor Day
Now that it’s September and we can almost breathe again, people ask, what’s left for lawn care after Labor Day? While some of us are wondering if we really need to pack away our white pants, the others of us are asking, can I pack up the lawnmower?
Are we done here?
Are you ever done? Does the laundry pile ever really go away? Is the housework ever finished? Not really. Owning a home is one thing, but keeping it up is a never-ending job. Landscaping and lawns fall into this category of never-ending work.
It was fun the first time around.
When you buy or build a home, it is really exciting at first. Picking out paint, windows, and doors that show off your style are part of your outdoor look. Landscaping is a major investment that also accentuates your home and style. These are exciting times for a new homeowner!
Fast forward ten years when the roof is starting to leak, the paint is peeling, the driveway is stained, and the front door is looking dated. Maybe the lawn is starting to look thin and patches have appeared. We won’t even mention the sofa you bought that was “so cool” ten years ago.
The day’s work is never done. So don’t wait.
Keeping up the work around the house every season keeps us from being ten years down the road with thousands in repairs and sprucing up to do. Maintaining the lawn, landscaping, turf, and plantings are all things we need to do year-round. Continuous upkeep and management keeps home and lawn maintenance manageable, financially and in terms of hard work.
To do list for the fall:
A little work in the yard every day (or week) even after a long summer can make lawn care easy and affordable. These small jobs can be done year-round and will give your lawn the best chance at being beautiful and healthy.
- Keep mowing as long as the grass is growing.
- Take care of your lawnmower.
- Your lawn still needs water even when it is cool.
- Wet piles of leaves left to rot on your lawn suffocate the turf. Rake piles up before the job is too much to handle.
- Aeration and lawn fertilization will pay off when spring arrives.
- Never stop fighting the war against pests in your lawn. Armyworms, moles, weeds…these need to be controlled.
Labor Day and lawn care, let’s make that a “thing”
