October/Fall Lawn Care Tips
October 7th, 2013 Categories: Home Improvement, Pensacola Buyers
Here are a few simple tips for Floridians who want to make sure that the grass is always greener in their lawn. Remember, the first impression people have of your personal Real Estate is tied directly to the first impression they have of your lawn.
As Fall begins in the Florida Panhandle, here are a few lawn care tips. Check the HGTV.com” How To” list of Fall Lawn Care tips, as well as those I’ve included here.
- Fertilize cool-season lawns early in the month — but only if you didn’t do it last month.
- Keep mowing as long as grass keeps growing.
- Deal with fall weeds, such as annual bluegrass and hen-bit, by applying a preemergent herbicide. Don’t use a preemergent, if you’re planning to seed or overseed your lawn.
- Overseed warm-season turf, such as Bermuda, zoysia, or centipede grass, with annual ryegrass to keep a green lawn through winter.
As a native Floridian, I will be happy to give you additional lawn care tips or guide you to other local professionals, such as those at B & C Nursery, to help you design the Real Estate property, lawn and garden of your dreams.
