Winter Lawn Care: Keep Your Grass Healthy Through the Cold

It’s easy to forget about your lawn once frost sets in — but November is a crucial month for protecting and preserving healthy grass. With a little attention now, you’ll be rewarded with lush growth in spring.

1. Stop Mowing (Mostly!)

Once growth slows, reduce mowing to a minimum. Only trim if necessary, keeping mower blades high.

2. Clear Fallen Leaves

Rake or blow leaves regularly to let light and air reach the grass. Mats of wet leaves can suffocate your lawn.

3. Aerate if Waterlogged

If your lawn stays soggy after rain, spike it with a garden fork to improve drainage.

4. Feed Before the Frosts

Apply a low-nitrogen, high-potassium autumn feed to strengthen roots and resist disease.

5. Avoid Walking on Frosty Grass

Footprints on frozen lawns can crush the grass blades and leave brown patches later.

🌿 Final Thought: Treat your lawn kindly this month, and it’ll bounce back brilliantly in spring.
