From Weeds to Wow: How to Transform Your Lawn This Fall

Fall Lawn & Landscape Care: Nutsedge, Mulch, Aeration, and Pruning Explained

If your lawn has been struggling with brown spots, thinning grass, or stubborn weeds, you’re not alone. Midwest lawns face unique challenges this time of year—but with the right care, you can protect your landscape and keep it looking its best year-round.

At Hackmann Lawn & Landscape, we focus on four essential fall services that make all the difference:

🌾 1. Nutsedge Control

Nutsedge is a fast-spreading weed that can quickly take over your lawn if left untreated. It competes with your desirable grass and plants for water and nutrients, leaving your lawn looking weak and patchy. By treating nutsedge early, we stop the spread and restore your lawn’s overall health and appearance.

🌿 2. Mulch Benefits

A fresh layer of mulch not only makes your landscape look neat and polished, but it also works hard behind the scenes. Mulch helps retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, suppress weeds, and enrich the soil. It’s one of the simplest ways to boost your curb appeal while protecting your plants.

🌱 3. Lawn Aeration

Compacted soil keeps grass roots from getting the water, air, and nutrients they need. Aeration breaks up that compaction, giving roots room to grow deep and strong. Pairing aeration with overseeding helps thicken your lawn, reduce bare spots, and create lush, green grass next spring.

🌳 4. Pruning & Trimming Bushes

Fall pruning sets your landscape up for success. Trimming away dead or overgrown branches improves air circulation and helps plants resist disease. Shaping bushes before winter also prevents damage from heavy snow and ice, while encouraging stronger, healthier growth in spring. Plus—it keeps your property looking neat all year long.

✅ Better curb appeal
✅ A healthier, more resilient landscape
✅ Professional care you can count on

🍂 Don’t wait until problems get worse—fall is the time to get ahead of weeds, prepare your lawn for spring, and protect your landscape.
