Fall is right around the corner, and if you want a strong, healthy lawn next spring, the work starts now. Preparing your yard in late August and early September gives your grass the best chance to thrive before winter hits.
At Pusher’s Lawn Care and Landscaping, we know what Kentucky lawns need as the seasons shift. Here’s your ultimate fall lawn care checklist—plus how we can help knock it all out.
1. Aerate and Over-Seed (If You Haven’t Yet)
If your lawn is compacted, patchy, or just didn’t perform well this summer, now’s the time to fix it. Aeration and over-seeding promote deeper roots, thicker grass, and better resistance to stress.
Book this ASAP before the soil gets too cool for seed germination.
2. Apply a Fall Fertilizer
Fall is the most important time to fertilize. A proper fall application focuses on root development rather than top growth, prepping the lawn to survive winter and thrive in spring.
🌱 Our fall fertilization service gives your yard the nutrients it needs to rebuild and strengthen.
3. Tackle Those Weeds
Dandelions, clover, and crabgrass may have been creeping in all summer. Knock them out now so they don’t return stronger next spring.
We offer targeted weed control treatments designed for late-season invaders.
4. Clean Up Summer Growth
Before the leaves fall, now’s the time to:
- Trim shrubs and ornamental grasses
- Clear out flower beds
- Edge borders and walkways
- Remove any dead plants or annuals
A clean yard now means less work later—plus better airflow and curb appeal.
5. Refresh Your Mulch
A light mulch refresh helps insulate plant roots, hold moisture, and give your landscaping a neat finish for fall.
We offer mulch delivery and installation in a variety of styles and colors.
6. Schedule Your Fall Cleanup Early
When the leaves do start falling, they come fast—and waiting too long to clean them up can smother your lawn.
Beat the rush by scheduling your fall leaf cleanup with us in advance.
