Why Hiring a Professional is Important
Winter can be a difficult time for maintaining a beautiful lawn, especially in Oklahoma where the weather can be unpredictable. But with a little extra care, you can ensure that your yard stays healthy and beautiful even in the coldest months of the year. Here are a few tips for caring for your yard in the cooler months in Oklahoma, and why hiring a professional like Bare Foot Turf is important for achieving the best results.
Rake and remove leaves
Fall leaves can smother your lawn if left on the ground for too long. Rake up any leaves that have fallen on your lawn and remove them from the yard. This will prevent mold and fungus from growing and will also allow the sun to reach the grass.
Aerate your lawn
Aeration is the process of making small holes in the soil to allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots of your grass. Aeration is especially important in Oklahoma where the soil can become compacted due to heavy clay content. Aeration can be done with a manual aerator or a machine. Note: We don’t aerate in the fall or winter for Bermuda.
Hiring a professional like Bare Foot Turf for aeration ensures that the job is done properly and efficiently, with the right tools and equipment. Our team can also advise you on when and how often your lawn should be aerated to achieve the best results.
Fertilize
Fall is a great time to fertilize your lawn. The grass will absorb the nutrients before the winter months set in. This will help the grass stay healthy and green throughout the winter. Using the right fertilizer and applying it at the right time is crucial for achieving the best results. Hiring a professional like Bare Foot Turf ensures that your lawn is getting the right type and amount of fertilizer for optimal growth. Our team can also advise you on when and how often your lawn should be fertilized for optimal results.
Check your irrigation system
Before the winter months set in, make sure to check your irrigation system to ensure that it is working properly. This will help ensure that your lawn is getting the right amount of water during the winter months. A malfunctioning irrigation system can result in over or under watering, which can lead to damage to your lawn.
Protect your plants
Winter can be harsh on plants, especially in Oklahoma. To protect your plants, cover them with burlap or a frost blanket. This will help keep the plants warm and protected from the cold.
Keep an eye out for pests
Even though it’s winter, pests can still be a problem. Keep an eye out for signs of pests such as holes in leaves or damage to the bark of trees. If you notice any signs of pests, contact us.
