Autumn Lawn Jobs - Sep to Nov
Weeds & Moss
Moss Control
Autumn moss control and scarification helps to minimise moss growth over winter, making it less of a problem in spring.
Weeds & Moss
Scarification
Scarifying in autumn will help reduce competition and gives the grass more room to grow.
Feed & Maintenance
Aeration
The perfect time to aerate is during the autumn as the soil is moist but firm.
Feed & Maintenance
Raking Leaves
Remove leaves and debris as soon as they appear on the lawn to ensure light reaches the grass.
Seed & Repair
Turfing
Mid-autumn is the ideal time to lay turf as it will be able to fully establish before summer with limited wear.
Seed & Repair
Overseeding / Thickening Lawns
Autumn is the best time for sowing seed, as the soil is still warm from the summer.
Feed & Maintenance
Feeding your lawn
Autumn lawns require different nutrient levels and to conserve energy and root development to prepare the lawn for winter stresses.
Seed & Repair
Patch & Repair
The optimal time in autumn is September. Patching mixes can be applied throughout October but be careful the weather isn't too cold.
Seed & Repair
Sowing a new lawn
Autumn is the best time for sowing seed, as the soil is still warm from the summer.
Weeds & Moss

Mowing
During autumn, try to avoid removing more than a third of the blade to keep the roots growing.
