The official start of fall is still a few weeks away but now is the time to start preparing your yard for winter and SK Lawn and Landscape is ready to help with lawn care teams that know exactly what your grass needs. Even though we’ve only seen a few short weeks of brutal heat in the Kansas City area this summer, there are still steps that need to be taken to ensure your lawn grows back thick, green and consistent after the winter months (not to mention, make sure that your grass is strong enough to survive the winter cold).

Many lawns often exhibit patchy areas towards the end of the summer months. Whether it is due to shady areas that don’t see much sun, heavy traffic areas or your lawn irrigation has issues, overseeding in the fall will help your lawn grow more consistently for next spring. Our lawn care professionals match your lawn’s seed so that it looks and grows flawless and consistent filling in patchy areas. Aerating is another fall lawn service that can do wonders for the look of your grass. After routine mowing and plenty foot traffic from summer fun in the yard, your soil may have become compacted making it difficult for water and air to reach the roots of your grass (particularly if you are adding new seed).

Aerating punctures your lawn’s soil removing tiny cores allowing water, air and sunlight to reach the roots of your lawn. In some cases, dead and dry grass may create a dense barrier of thatch that cripples the growth and re-growth of your lawn in that it can keep water, air and certainly sunlight from reaching your grass and thus keeping new grass seeds from growing. For extreme cases as just described, verticutting is the solution in that it breaks up not only the dead layer of thatch but also breaks up a thin layer of the soil providing the optimal environment for new seed growth and allowing your current grass to get the nutrients it needs as well. When fall arrives, homeowners in the Kansas City area have trusted SK Lawn and Landscape for quality, professional lawn care services since 2010.
