Fall Lawn Renovation Time is Almost Here---Are You Ready?

Yes, you, too, can have a great lawn!
Yes, there is work to do.  Watch the weather during the next week (or soon thereafter) and pick a period when the temperatures are consistently below 87-degrees.  That's the first task.  Tall fescue grass seed (cool season grasses) will not germinate until the temperature is right...doesn't like the heat.  

Renovation details are found in my earlier posts (9.15.08 and 8.29.09) in this Weekend Garden List Category.

Take the time though to shop for quality seed and fertilizer.  De-thatching and aerating (core aeration) will help in creating a healthy lawn; working in quality compost as a soil amendment and top dressing will also give your new lawn a great start.
