With the fall season and cooler weather just around the corner, it’s time to turn your attention to seeding your lawn so your grass grows vibrantly during the spring. Joe’s Market Basket has the tips and tricks to take your grass from looking spotty to luscious in just a few months.

Fall is actually one of the best times to seed your lawn because of the cooler air while still having warm soil. Whether you have worn-down spots or just want to add more grass to your yard, fall is the perfect time.

Repairing Dead Patches
After a hard summer of kids playing outside, entertaining friends in your yard and harsh temperatures, you might notice patches of grass that are worn down throughout your lawn.

By simply seeding the bare patches during the fall, you can have those sections repaired with lush grass by the time spring rolls around.

Just make sure that when you do seed in the bare areas to keep pets, children and other foot traffic off the patches to create an ideal environment for growth.

Overseeding
A great way to ensure your entire lawn looks good for spring is by overseeding. Even if you don’t have significant dead patches but just want to add more volume to your yard, overseeding is an exceptional technique to build that dreamy sea of green.

Overseeding just means spreading out plenty of grass seed throughout your yard. There are different tools to help you get this done efficiently, and fall is one of the best times to start the overseeding process.

Fun Fall Ideas
Seeding your lawn is just one way to take advantage of the fall. Autumn also represents a good time to plant spring bulbs so they bloom beautifully when spring comes along. For the best results, make sure to plant these bulbs before the ground freezes. The bulbs thrive by starting in cooler, fall temperatures and then come into their own in the spring.

Everyone loves to decorate their porches and homes for the fall, and Joe’s Market Basket has the staples like pumpkins, squashes and gourds to get into the spirit as we head into the holidays.
