How to Prepare Your Lawn for Fall
As the crisp air of autumn rolls in, it’s the perfect time to give your lawn a little extra attention. Fall lawn care sets the stage for healthy growth in the spring and is a great opportunity to make eco-friendly choices that benefit your family, your yard, and the planet.
Reseed with Pennington Grass Seed
Fall is one of the best times to seed your lawn. Cooler nights, sunny days, and seasonal rainfall create the ideal conditions for grass to develop strong roots before winter. Pennington Grass Seed offers blends that thrive in New England’s climate, helping your lawn recover from summer stress and stay lush and green through next year.
Plant Your Spring Bulbs
September through mid-October is the ideal window to plant spring-blooming bulbs in New England. Tulips, daffodils, crocus, and hyacinths need the cold months to establish roots underground before bursting into color when the snow melts. Involve the kids—it’s a fun family project to dig, drop in bulbs, and look forward to the big reveal in spring.
Go Cordless with LawnMaster
Ditch the fumes and noise of gas-powered mowers! The LawnMaster Cordless Lawn Mower is lightweight, battery-powered, and easy to use—perfect for families who want a healthier, quieter yard. Switching to cordless equipment is one of the simplest ways to reduce your carbon footprint while keeping your lawn looking its best.

Collect and Reuse Rainwater
