Fall is the most important season for lawn care in Blount County. The work you do now determines how your lawn will look next spring and summer.
Essential Fall Tasks
Here's your complete checklist for fall lawn preparation in Tennessee:
Leaf Management
- Regular Removal: Don't let leaves pile up and smother your grass
- Mulching: Small amounts can be mulched into the lawn for nutrients
- Composting: Create valuable compost for next year's garden
Final Fertilization
Apply a winter fertilizer high in potassium to help grass survive cold temperatures and emerge stronger in spring.
Overseeding
September through October is perfect for overseeding thin areas. Cool temperatures and fall moisture create ideal germination conditions.
Aeration
Core aeration relieves soil compaction and allows nutrients to reach grass roots more effectively.
Timing is Everything
In Blount County, start your fall cleanup in early September and finish by mid-November before the first hard frost.
