Ignoring your lawn at the end of summer is a recipe for regret when spring rolls around. Winter will be here before we know it, so now is the time to plan for late summer lawn care so your grass is splendid next year. Changing the height of your lawn mower blade, dethatching, seeding bare patches, and fertilizing, are basic, affordable steps that can make a big difference. Timing is everything, so be sure to circle dates on the calendar as a reminder to get busy before summer lustre yields to autumn bluster.
