Fall Into a Better Lawn: Your September Guide to Lawn & Home Care in Joliet
As summer fades and the Midwest cools off, fall becomes the perfect time to give your lawn—and your home—the care it deserves. Whether you’re looking to revitalize your grass, prep for winter, or just keep your property looking sharp, this guide covers everything you need to know this season.
Seasonal Tip: Now’s the Time to Aerate & Seed
Fall is one of the best times of year to improve your lawn. The cooler temperatures and consistent moisture create ideal growing conditions for deep, strong roots. Here’s why you shouldn’t wait:
-
Core Aeration: Relieves soil compaction and allows air, water, and nutrients to reach the root zone.
-
Overseeding: Fills in bare or thin areas, creating a thicker, healthier lawn for next spring.
👉 Pro Tip: Schedule your aeration and overseeding now—before leaves start to fall and it’s too late to establish new growth.

Why You Should Remove Pet Waste Before Winter
Did you know dog waste doesn’t decompose in cold weather?
When snow covers it, it stays frozen all season—only to thaw in spring as a bacteria-filled mess. Yikes!
Do your lawn (and nose) a favor: get it cleaned before winter hits. Your future self will thank you.
