Fall Lawn Care Schedule

It’s the end of summer in Northern Virginia, and for homeowners looking to keep their properties beautiful, the time to schedule fall lawn care is now. The primary goal of seasonal maintenance in fall is to prepare your plants and lawn for hibernation over winter so that they can stay healthy and blossom come springtime.

Depending on the scope of your property and your budget, our landscapers often recommend the following services for our clients’ fall lawn care packages:

Leaf removal – this is the time of year where leaves start to blow all over your lawn. Regular raking can be a chore—so have a professional handle it for you!
Aeration and overseeding – this process strengthens the roots of our plants and grass, protecting them from weeds and disease and promoting growth through winter.
Weed control – weeding is critical to keeping your plants healthy during the cold weather season.
Fertilization – fertilization provides much-needed nutrients to your plants and grasses that allow them to stay healthy and keep growing through winter’s dormant months.
Drainage system setup – Northern Virginia is prone to wet, cold weather during winter, so it’s important to install a drainage system that will properly redirect water runoff, keeping your lawn and hardscapes intact.
