How to Keep Your Lawn Green Through Autumn

As the growing season begins to slow, maintaining your lawn during autumn is essential for keeping it healthy and green.

By following a few simple lawn care practices, you can protect your lawn and prepare it for winter dormancy.

Remove Fallen Leaves

One of the biggest threats to lawns during autumn is fallen leaves.

If leaves are left on the lawn for long periods, they block sunlight and trap moisture, which can lead to lawn disease.

Regularly rake or remove leaves to allow grass to continue growing.

Grass growth slows during autumn, but mowing should still continue while the lawn is actively growing.

Keep the mower blades slightly higher than during summer to protect the grass from colder weather.

Autumn fertilisers contain nutrients that strengthen grass roots and improve winter resilience.

Applying fertiliser during early autumn helps the lawn store energy for the colder months.

If parts of the lawn have become thin or patchy, repairing them before winter will help prevent further deterioration.

Fresh turf provides a quick and reliable solution for repairing damaged areas.

Healthy soil supports stronger grass growth throughout the year.

Adding lawn soil can improve drainage, nutrient availability, and root development.

By maintaining your lawn properly during autumn, you create the best conditions for it to survive winter and grow strongly again in spring.

Small steps taken now can make a huge difference to your lawn’s health next year.
