McLean Weather and Your Lawn

With an average temperature of between 72 and 62 degrees, Falls Church is crisp and cool during October. Of course, with this crisper weather, leaves will naturally begin to fall. Falling leaves are part of the winterization process, and the process is a must for trees’ survival.

You may not have the time necessary to clean up your property during the messy autumn months, but our cleaning crews at The Grounds Guys of Falls Church can take care of your lawn woes. Relax while you let us do the dirty work so that you can enjoy a beautiful, pristine lawn. Our landscaping and lawn care service experts can help you get the job done promptly every time.

Why Is Yard Upkeep Important?

When you invest in your lawn with regular lawn care services, such as the ones The Grounds Guys of Falls Church provides, you are doing more than just making it look appealing to neighbors and yourself. While skipping professional lawn care services may seem like a good idea to your wallet, it actually poses risks that will take more time and money to fix in the long run.

Ultimately, routine lawn maintenance is one of the best things you can do to keep your lawn healthy. Irregular or non-existent lawn care can cause serious damage to your grass. If ignored, your lawn is subject to lawn disease, starvation, drought, nutrient loss, and overall decreased appearance.

Should I Rake My Leaves?

When it comes down to it, raking leaves is done to accomplish much more than just ensuring your lawn looks its best. Raking leaves is crucial to your lawn’s health. Most lawns in the US are made up of one or more cool-season grasses.

When this type of grass gets enough sunlight, nutrients, and water (and isn’t exposed to temperatures that are too hot or too cold), it can be revitalized in the fall. When something like sunlight is removed due to fallen leaves, this type of grass can be damaged if not raked up in time. After this is damaged, it takes hard work (and new grass) to make it look great again.

Some other cons of not raking your leaves include:

• If left on your lawn during winter, leaves can become much more of a headache to clean up because they become challenging to rake or shred due to the cold temperatures and moisture
• A layer of leaves can invite unwelcomed pests and diseases such as snow mold or brown patches
• Grass won’t be able to get the water, nutrients, and air needed to keep it looking great
• If matted down, leaves can prevent new grass from growing during the spring

When it comes down to it, seasonal cleanup is essential to the overall health and appearance of your lawn. It’s precisely for this reason that our professionals at The Grounds Guys of Falls Church continue to provide locals with superior lawn care and cleanup services to keep your lawn looking great all year long! From raking leaves to weekly mowing, our lawn care experts can service virtually any lawn!
