Most people think spring is the most important time for lawn care—but fall is just as critical, if not more so. As the temperatures begin to cool and the summer heat fades, your lawn enters a natural recovery and growth phase. If you want a thick, green, healthy yard next spring, the work starts now.
At GLS Maintenance, we’re encouraging homeowners to take advantage of our Fall Lawn Services Special—including core aeration, overseeding, fertilization, and leaf cleanup. Here’s why each of these services matters and why it’s smart to book early.

🌱 1. Core Aeration: Let Your Lawn Breathe

After a long summer of foot traffic, mowing, and dry conditions, your soil becomes compacted. That makes it hard for water, air, and nutrients to reach the roots.
Core aeration solves that problem by removing small plugs of soil from your lawn. This reduces compaction, improves drainage, and creates pockets for seed and fertilizer to reach deep into the ground.
It’s a simple process—but it’s incredibly effective. Aeration sets the stage for healthy root growth throughout the fall and helps your lawn bounce back stronger in the spring.

🌾 2. Overseeding: Fill in the Gaps

Bare patches? Thinning turf? The best time to fix them is now.

Fall is the ideal time for overseeding because the cooler weather helps new grass seed establish without the stress of summer heat. When paired with aeration, overseeding fills in thin areas, improves lawn density, and boosts resistance to weeds and disease.

If you’ve been struggling with a patchy lawn, fall overseeding is your best opportunity to fix it—before winter dormancy sets in.

🌿 3. Fertilization: Feed Your Lawn for the Future

Your grass may not grow much above ground during the fall, but beneath the surface, the roots are still hard at work.

Fall fertilization gives your lawn the nutrients it needs to build strong roots, store energy, and prepare for winter. A well-fed lawn will survive the colder months more easily and come back greener and thicker in the spring.

Think of it as your lawn’s last big meal before hibernation.

🍁 4. Leaf Cleanup: Protect Your Lawn from Rot and Mold

Letting leaves pile up on your lawn can cause a whole host of problems:

  • Suffocation of grass
  • Trapped moisture, leading to fungus and mold
  • Increased risk of pests and disease

GLS Maintenance offers professional leaf blowing and removal services to keep your yard clean, safe, and breathable all season long. Regular cleanups also improve curb appeal and make spring maintenance easier.
