Quick tip from the Turf King:
If you don't rake the leaves from your lawn it will be smothered in a thick layer of un-shredded leaves. The leaves will become matted down and in the spring will keep new grass blades from emerging! Rake your leaves this season to ensure a greener lawn in the spring!
As the weather begins to cool, your lawn will slow its top growth while the roots will continue to actively grow. A fall fertilizer application should be applied at the right time, when the plants are still absorbing nutrients. If the ground is frozen or the grass has stopped growing, it is too late. Feeding your lawn in the fall is crucial. Schedule your fall lawn fertilizer treatment in Muskoka or Orillia with Turf King!
Brown spots in your lawn may signal that Grubs are present and feasting on grass roots. To determine if Grubs are the culprit, pull on the brown grass. If it pulls free with no roots, carefully dig and lift a section to check for c-shaped Grubs. If you do have grubs it's worth contacting Turf King to control Grubs in Muskoka and Orillia, if you do not in spring they'll continue their underground lawn destruction!
