Now is a great time to prepare your lawn for winter.  Steps taken today
will help to ensure that your lawn remains healthy and a beautiful asset
to your environment.


Fertilizing should be done during the end of September through
mid-October.  This will provide enough food for the winter.


If you wish to aerate for the fall, be sure to do this no late than
October 1.


Watch the amount of water we receive to determine when is the best time
is to shut down your sprinkler system for the year.  Blowing out your
sprinkler system too early may be a problem if your lawn still needs
water.  Once your sprinkler system is off you may need to hand-water, or
drag a hose around your yard to target stressed areas if conditions
become too dry.


Remember, experts are available to assist you with your specific needs.
