Maintaining a healthy lawn in the fall is essential to ensure a lush, green yard in the spring. In this video, we cover five easy steps for fall lawn care that will help your grass thrive even through the cooler months. Follow these steps to promote strong roots, improve soil health, and repair any dead patches before winter hits. Whether you're a seasoned gardener or a beginner, these tips will make your lawn the envy of the neighborhood.
Step 1: Verify Soil Water Levels
The first step in fall lawn care is checking your soil’s moisture levels. To grow healthy grass, your soil needs 6 to 8 inches of water saturation. You can easily check this with a soil probe or even a screwdriver-insert it into the ground to see how far the moisture has penetrated. If the soil is dry beyond the top layer, it’s time to water your lawn deeply. Proper watering helps keep your lawn resilient as the temperatures drop.
Step 2: Dethatch Your Lawn
Thatch is a layer of dead grass and other debris that builds up on the soil surface, preventing water, nutrients, and air from reaching the roots. Use a lawn dethatcher to remove this debris. Dethatching allows your grass to breathe and absorb water more efficiently. It also helps prevent diseases and pests that thrive in thick thatch layers. Regular dethatching in the fall ensures your lawn stays healthy and strong.
Step 3: Scarify for Better Growth
Scarifying your lawn is the next step. A lawn scarifier is a powerful machine that digs into the lawn’s thatch and root mass, thinning it out to promote lateral growth. Scarifying opens up the soil, helping water and nutrients penetrate deeper, encouraging grass to spread and cover bare patches. This is particularly important in the fall, as it prepares your lawn to establish a healthy root system before winter.
Step 4: Fertilize with a Wetting Agent
Fertilizing is crucial for nourishing your lawn, but using a wetting agent can make it even more effective. A wetting agent helps break up compacted soil, allowing more water and oxygen to reach the roots. For fall lawn care, I recommend using a fertilizer rich in nitrogen and potassium. Nitrogen promotes strong leaf growth, while potassium enhances root development, making your lawn hardier against cold weather. Fertilizing now gives your grass the nutrients it needs to survive the winter and bounce back in the spring.
Step 5: Patch and Repair Dead Areas
Finally, patch and repair any dead or thin areas of your lawn. Whether you use a seed patch kit or lay down fresh sod, it’s essential to fill in these spots before winter arrives. This will prevent weeds from taking over and ensure a uniform lawn next year. Fall is the ideal time to reseed because the cooler temperatures and moist soil create the perfect environment for grass seed to germinate and establish strong roots.
Conclusion
By following these five easy steps-verifying soil moisture, dethatching, scarifying, fertilizing, and patching dead areas-you’ll set your lawn up for success in the fall and beyond. Regular fall lawn care not only enhances your yard’s appearance but also strengthens your grass for the colder months ahead. If you’re looking for simple ways to improve your lawn, these tips will make a noticeable difference. Be sure to like, subscribe, and stay tuned for more lawn care and gardening tips!

Wow looks at all the weeds in your beds!!
Most of its grass unfortunately
My neighbor came over and said he wanted to redo his lawn, but his ground was hard as a rock. He does have a sprinkler system but did not run it thinking of redoing his lawn because the 3-year lawn was planted by the builder. So, I told him to spray some baby shampoo down now because rain was coming it should soften it up. So, the next morning after a down poor. All of sudden he called me a said look at my lawn, there were bubbles everywhere. He put so much shampoo on the dry lawn and when it rain it causes bubbles in his lawn. I just laughed and said just let it go because it going to rain the next couple days and will wash it away.
🤣🤣🤣 that's pretty funny
sensational tips just in time for my backyard reno this weekend . Cheers G
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
I bought a true temper dethaching rake and my dad put mulching blades on our steering wheeled zero turn cub cadet and it blows piles of grass but that rake really does a great job, great video
Hey that Wi-Fi problem happened to me too. Me pulling my hair out to get it back up and running life sis funny but in the moment I could not deal. 😂
😄 it's the worst!!! Jaw dropping
Nice work! Your videos have really helped our lawn this year! Thank you!
Great to hear!
I started to early in late august😩 almost impossible to keep wet! Very dry summers on Long Island here. Starting again now.
You got this!
Great fall tips !!
Thanks for watching!
How about a video on how to repel mice from a mobile home. You're not going to make the skirting on a mobile home impenetrable What can I do to prevent mice from destroying the insulation on the ductwork that connects the two halves of our double-wide together. I just replaced the flexible duct which was destroyed by rodents to a rigid duct with insulation..I'm subscribing on the outside chance that it mill make it more likely that I will notice any response you make.
This guy is awesome!
👊😁
hope your finger is better. I used that for my finger surgery before. God bless.
👊😀 thanks! Sharp eye!
just in time. need the same here. ty
Perfect!
Taking a risk here in NY, just throwing down seed for a renovation. See if I can toss some kelp at it to get those roots secured before frost.
True true
Good job brother.👍🏻🇺🇸
Thanks!
Thanks for the tips. How long typically does the benefits of using Dawn last?
About 1 to 2 weeks with dish soap.
Nice video,
Thanks!
One thing I didn't hear about was the timing of the process. What temperatures you should be looking at long-term forecasting before you do this project?
Why Dawn dish soap specifically. Does it have ingredients other soaps don’t have?
They're both classified as non ionic . Not as aggressive as a traditional surfactant
My kbg is really thick and prone to fungus.
Time to scarify
Bermuda grass too?
Works fantastic. I would add a fall scalp for bermuda goes a long way
Jared, I live in Sandy UT and for the past two years I've seen a lot of fescue pop up in my KBG lawn where it never existed before. I did overseed 4 years ago with Turf Blue Pro. Are you aware of others in our state having similar issues this year and any tips to deal with it?
It's a big issue. Unfortunately spot treating with a non selective herbicide like roundup is best. 2 to 3 treatments on the same spots 7 days apart. Then I dig down 3" , put dirt over it and sod or seed it. That bunching tall fescue is the worst.
Be diligent with your spring pre emergent treatments
@@pestandlawnginja Thanks! I love these videos where I feel like I'm not the only one constantly battling to keep the lawn looking decent, lol. Have you had to struggle with the same thing?
Any idea where fescue typically comes from. I don't see fescue going to seed in my neighborhood so can the seed travel long distances?
@eugenieandrews8874 great question. It's a pest. Wind, air, mowing, etc. all culprits, unfortunately. Fescue germinates so quickly
I noticed yellowing around your tree, can anything be done about this or just need to accept the grass will struggle?
For me it's a shallow tree roots. Nothing can be done for that area other than dig some roots out 🙂
@@pestandlawnginja Thanks for responding, running into the same yellowing and didn't know what could be done, appreciate the videos Ginja
@@RenA-mk9ct happy to help
I just applied pre emergent in Michigan. When should I dethatch?
Preferably before. But if there's a significant amount of debris it's wise to dethatch
@@pestandlawnginja Thank you. Does this mean I will need to apply pre emergent again or should I wait until a little later in the season to dethatch?
@jeffsstuff6575 germination will stop as ground temps get permanently below 50 degrees.
With that said. The lawn debris prevents a lot of pre emergent to get to the soil. I personally recommend removing the debris as soon as possible.
What's changed? You look different. I can't place it. Trimmed beard yeah, but more than that I think.
I'm fatter than usual
Why Dawn dish soap specifically. Does it have ingredients other soaps don’t have?
There both classified as non ionic. I've found the dawn brand is a bit more aggressive than other brands. Not a huge amount
Ginja is the best there is!!
I don't understand why we need to get the "garbage" off the lawn. Returning clippings to the soil seems like a better approach. It promotes more worms, which is good for the soil.
all the dead grass is gunna create a barrier for new seed to make contact with soil
When mulched properly you won't have debris
