Fall is the perfect time of year to start tilling your lawn again because the soil temperature is still warm enough to stimulate grass growth. Keep reading to find out exactly how to take care of her in the best way.
Lawn care
Scarification
This means raking the lawn to reduce the layers. This removes dead grass and old moss that can prevent water and fertilizer from reaching the roots and soil. In the spring you need to be more gentle with the grass, so now is the time for this activity.
Mistakes to avoid when starting a LAWN in your yard
Cut the grass
During the summer, the edges of your lawn can get a little overgrown, making this time of year the perfect time to trim. Use well-cleaned and sharpened scissors.
Leveling the uneven sections
If you have an uneven area in your yard that you haven’t liked all summer, now is the time to level it. That way you won’t have wet puddles or dry patches when it rains. Once you’ve done this, aerate the soil underneath with a pitchfork and place the grass level with the rest of the lawn.

Lawn aeration
The process of aerating is essentially spraying the lawn to allow more air and nutrients, including water, to reach the grass roots. Thus, the lawn will not become overmoistened or dry out.
Nourish the lawn
Once the lawn is level and aerated, it’s time to apply some fertilizer. Top dressing improves soil structure and promotes strong root development, so it helps maintain a healthy lawn.
