Fall Lawn Care: Prepare Your Yard for Winter

 

Late summer and early fall are ideal for overseeding in Massachusetts. Grass seed has time to establish roots before winter, helping fill bare spots and encourage thicker spring growth. Pair the right seed with fertilizer to support healthy root development and prepare your lawn for the colder months.


Get Your Home Ready for Winter

 

Prepare your home for freezing temperatures by sealing drafts, insulating exposed pipes, and protecting outdoor faucets. Weather stripping and window insulation kits help reduce drafts, while pipe insulation and heat tape help protect vulnerable plumbing. Disconnect garden hoses and use outdoor faucet covers before temperatures drop below freezing.

They are especially useful for older or drafty windows and can make rooms more comfortable during Massachusetts winters.

To winterize an outdoor faucet, disconnect garden hoses, drain any remaining water, and install an insulated outdoor faucet cover.
