As summer winds down and the busy season of barbecues, school holidays, socialising and family gatherings end, your lawn might be showing signs of wear and tear, especially after the UK’s wet and temperamental summer. If you have noticed thinning grass, compacted soil, or uneven patches, now is the time to act. Autumn is the perfect time to rejuvenate your lawn, preparing it for winter dormancy so it can return lush and vibrant in the spring. The UK’s oldest and most trusted lawn seed brand, Johnsons Lawn Seed, is here to guide you through every step of the process. Why is Autumn Lawn Care Important? Summer’s heavy foot traffic and activities can leave your lawn in less-than-perfect shape. Soil compaction, bare spots, and poor nutrition are common problems after a season of fun in the sun. The wet spring was also a double-edged sword for our lawns. While the increased moisture can promote growth, it can also lead to problems like waterlogging, fungal diseases, and moss. Autumn is a crucial time to restore your lawn’s health. By addressing issues now, you will strengthen your grass, giving it the resilience needed to endure the winter and bounce back come spring. Neglecting autumn lawn care could lead to a patchy, unhealthy lawn next year—something no gardener wants.
