Many property owners in Texas are unaware of the importance of fall lawn care. It is crucial to understand that a proper fall lawn care routine will prepare your grass for a beautiful spring season. This means you need to apply both pre- and post-emergent weed control treatments, as well as a fertilizer treatment at the end of summer or early fall. Then, you should apply another round of weed control in the middle of the fall. Finally, liquid soil treatment application at the end of fall or the beginning of winter will ensure your grass can start growing healthy again come springtime.

Apply pre- and post-emergent weed control treatments as well as a lawn fertilization treatment in the late summer/early fall.

The first step in maintaining a healthy lawn during the fall season is applying pre- and post-emergent weed control treatments. Pre-emergent herbicides prevent weeds from sprouting by creating a protective barrier on the surface of your soil. Meanwhile, post-emergents target any existing weeds and eliminate them from your lawn. By combining both types of treatments at the end of the summer or the beginning of fall, you can help your lawn stay weed-free, which is essential to maintaining a healthy lawn!

It is also important to apply a lawn fertilization treatment to your lawn during the late summer or early fall. Fertilizer supplies essential nutrients to your grass which help it grow strong roots, stay healthy, and develop a vibrant green color. A late summer/early fall fertilizer treatment will give your grass the boost it needs to recover from the summer stress and build up its strength for the upcoming winter dormancy period.

Common weeds found in Texas include dandelions, crabgrass, clover, chickweed, dallisgrass, nutsedge, and more!

Apply Another Round of Pre- & Post-Emergent Weed Control Treatments in the Middle of Fall

In the middle of the fall, you should apply another round of both pre- and post-emergent weed control treatments to your lawn. The post-emergent weed control treatments will eliminate any new weeds that managed to grow since the last treatment so that they can't steal nutrients from your lawn or drag down the curb appeal of your property. You should also apply another round of pre-emergent weed control to help prevent any other weeds from emerging on your lawn during this season.

Apply a Liquid Soil Treatment at the End of Fall or the Beginning of Winter

To ensure your grass starts growing healthy and strong in the spring, you need to administer a liquid soil treatment to your lawn in the fall. This type of treatment is designed to improve soil structure, water retention, and nutrient uptake, which will improve the overall health of your lawn since your grass will be better able to absorb everything it needs to thrive. Applying a liquid soil treatment at the end of fall or the beginning of winter will prepare your lawn for the next growing season and help it emerge healthy and strong in the spring!
