Fall Guide (Sept-Nov)

Welcome to Fall in Metrolina: Prep for Next Year
A little work now will pay off all next year.
Fall is the season for Tall Fescue in Charlotte. All the recovery, growth, and future success of your lawn starts here. This is when you fix the summer damage, build strong roots, and prep for a thick, healthy lawn next year. Do the work now and you’ll coast through winter and spring, and (hopefully) survive next summer unscathed.
The Big Picture
- Tall Fescue loves fall. Cool nights and warm days are perfect for growth.
- Time to overseed and repair. Summer heat thins out fescue. Fall is when you fix it.
- Fertilizer and amendments. Feed roots and improve your soil for long-term health.
- Fewer weeds. Knock out broadleaf and grassy weeds before winter.
