How to care for your lawn in fall and winter

Natural grass in any garden is always very pleasant to look at. However, those who truly care for it will know all the maintenance involved in choosing this option for the garden, instead of artificial turf.

Therefore, for those of you who opt for natural grass or are considering planting it, today in this GARDEN WEB post we are going to tell you how to properly care for it during the coldest times of the year: autumn and winter.

Why is it important to care for the lawn in autumn and winter?

When summer ends and autumn begins, an ideal environment and temperature are created for aerating the soil and reseeding it. During autumn, the leaves of trees and certain flowers begin to fall, and therefore, we must be constant in collecting them, as leaving them on the lawn for too long can damage it and cause it to rot.

Watering, another aspect to control during cold weather for a perfect lawn

On the other hand, and depending on the area where we live, we must consider the arrival of rains and, therefore, a new regulation and control of watering in our garden.

The key, as we have told you on other occasions, is to check if the soil is moist by inserting a finger into the ground and, if so, postpone watering. Another aspect to consider is not to mow with a lawnmower if it has been raining in recent days, as this would only harm the lawn.
