Fall is the most overlooked season for Memphis lawn care

Most people think lawn care season ends when the grass slows down, but fall is actually one of the most important times of year for Memphis lawns. As temperatures drop and growth slows, weeds like annual bluegrass, henbit, and chickweed are gearing up to take over for winter and early spring.

Fall is also when your turf is recovering from summer heat, drought stress, and foot traffic. A well-timed fall pre-emergent and nutrient plan helps your grass store energy, strengthen roots, and come back fuller and greener in spring.

Memphis weather shifts quickly. Some years fall feels long. Some years we go from 90° to frost overnight. That unpredictability is exactly why timing matters.

A fall treatment isn’t just maintenance. It’s the foundation for next year’s results. If you’d like help getting your lawn ready before winter settles in, just reach out.
