Posted by Cals Cut on December 8th, 2017

Green Leaves start to revamp and the air has a bit of fresh chill to it, lawn-owners everywhere start to spring into action to get their grass ready for the crisp and frosty winter. At this time they spend the least amount of time thinking of their lawn, but that doesn’t mean they can completely abandon their well-loved yard. In order to maintain the ambience of their lawns, they start to do something else, something Calscut suggests.

Most people tend to take a break from lawn care and maintenance during the cold months. However, putting together a caring routine will bring pleasant moments with great rewards as this season encourages your grass to grow and sustain its greenery health thoroughly. In order to maintain the greenery health for winter weather, you should start off by slowly cutting your grasses. Moreover, here are a few things you can do during the chilly winter to ensure a beautiful, lush yard once spring rolls around again.

•  Fertilising

Since the majority of lawns in Australia are made of Bermuda and bluegrass, it is a good bet your lawn has a typical cool season blend. Late fall or early winter are the best times to start fertilise the cool seasonal grasses. This time roots and rhizomes grow quickly even when the blades start to get brownish, thus fertilising keeps the roots healthy and vigorous all winter long. Furthermore, once the weather turns cold, the fertilisers remain in the soil and feed your yard’s roots continually.

•  Keep it Clean

If an object is left on the grass during chilly weather, it is easy for that item to be left on the lawn, as in winter no one likes to hang out outside very often. Even stray dogs, toys can be accidentally overlooked. Furthermore, items like a residue of leaves, big branches, and lawn accessories should be cleared off of the yard for the winter. Such items can cause thin brown patches and can create a perfect nesting scenario for mice, ants and other rodents to burrow.

•  Avoid Excessive Traffic

When the grasses turn brown or yellowish, you should slowly lower them, because excessively long grasses can smother itself, cause disease and may damage from freezing and thawing conditions.

• Provide some extra breeze, fresh air for grassroots by removing those pesky weeds.
• Try to prevent very much foot traffic on your frosty lawn.
• Keep your sidewalks cleared, so the foot traffic won’t be tempted to cut across the lawn.
• Make sure to clear the yard, occasionally do a sweep every couple of weeks during the cold season.
• Try to rake away any dead leaves that may have fallen or collected.
  
  

So the health, greenery and lush throughout the season need to be maintained during the fall. These are just a glimpse of tips to get you started on your lawn care and maintenance. A little work during the month will pay off in huge rewards in the spring. So follow these steps, clear the way and keep an eye on the weather.
