Cool-season grasses in particular need a fall feeding to get ready for spring next year. Here are a few of our green industry tips on how to winterize your own lawn. **Fall Lawn Fertilizing ** - [Fertilize cool-season grasses](http://www.quietvillagelandscaping.com/landscape-maintenance/fertilization/), like fescue, bluegrass, and ryegrass in September, October or November. - Fertilize warm-season grasses, like Bermuda, Zoysia, and St. Augustine in July, August or September. **[![blow leaves](https://info.quietvillagelandscaping.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/blow-leaves-300x200.jpg?width=300&height=200&name=blow-leaves-300x200.jpg)](https://info.quietvillagelandscaping.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/blow-leaves.jpg)Help Control Lawn Disease, Weeds and Insects** - To help prevent lawn diseases during the fall and winter, remove fallen leaves from your yard. Leaves left on your lawn encourage diseases by preventing sunlight and air from reaching the grass. Use a rake or blower to collect the leaves, and add them to your compost pile. Or, [give us a call to schedule your fall leaf clean-ups](http://www.quietvillagelandscaping.com/seasonal-services/leaf-cleanup-and-removal/). We’ll remove yard waste as well! **Fall Lawn Mowing and Composting** - The best time to [spread mulch](http://www.quietvillagelandscaping.com/landscape-maintenance/edging-and-mulching/) is early fall, spring and summer. This is partly because mulch retains heat and moisture. **Winterize a Warm-Season Lawn** - Starting with the first freeze of the season, a warm-season lawn will begin to change from green to brown. This period of dormancy is a natural part of the life cycle for turf grass. This makes fall a great time to overseed your dormant lawn with a cool-season grass to maintain a greener lawn appearance.   Tags: [autumn lawn care tips](https://www.quietvillagelandscaping.com/blog/tag/autumn-lawn-care-tips/), [best landscaping company st louis](https://www.quietvillagelandscaping.com/blog/tag/best-landscaping-company-st-louis/), [fall lawn care tips](https://www.quietvillagelandscaping.com/blog/tag/fall-lawn-care-tips/), [fall lawn fertilizing](https://www.quietvillagelandscaping.com/blog/tag/fall-lawn-fertilizing/), [landscaping company st. louis](https://www.quietvillagelandscaping.com/blog/tag/landscaping-company-st-louis/), [winterize lawn](https://www.quietvillagelandscaping.com/blog/tag/winterize-lawn/), [winterize your yard](https://www.quietvillagelandscaping.com/blog/tag/winterize-your-yard/) [landscaping company st. louis](https://info.quietvillagelandscaping.com/quiet-village-landscaping-blog/tag/landscaping-company-st-louis), [winterize lawn](https://info.quietvillagelandscaping.com/quiet-village-landscaping-blog/tag/winterize-lawn), [fall lawn fertilizing](https://info.quietvillagelandscaping.com/quiet-village-landscaping-blog/tag/fall-lawn-fertilizing), [autumn lawn care tips](https://info.quietvillagelandscaping.com/quiet-village-landscaping-blog/tag/autumn-lawn-care-tips), [best landscaping company st louis](https://info.quietvillagelandscaping.com/quiet-village-landscaping-blog/tag/best-landscaping-company-st-louis), [winterize your yard](https://info.quietvillagelandscaping.com/quiet-village-landscaping-blog/tag/winterize-your-yard), [fall lawn care tips](https://info.quietvillagelandscaping.com/quiet-village-landscaping-blog/tag/fall-lawn-care-tips) ## Related posts [![](https://info.quietvillagelandscaping.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/fall-time-yard-st-louis-300x150.jpg?height=200&name=fall-time-yard-st-louis-300x150.jpg)](https://info.quietvillagelandscaping.com/quiet-village-landscaping-blog/blog/fall-secrets-beautiful-lawn-spring) [fertilize](https://info.quietvillagelandscaping.com/quiet-village-landscaping-blog/tag/fertilize), [st louis landscaping](https://info.quietvillagelandscaping.com/quiet-village-landscaping-blog/tag/st-louis-landscaping), [saint louis landscaping](https://info.quietvillagelandscaping.com/quiet-village-landscaping-blog/tag/saint-louis-landscaping), [grass cutting](https://info.quietvillagelandscaping.com/quiet-village-landscaping-blog/tag/grass-cutting), [fall clean-ups](https://info.quietvillagelandscaping.com/quiet-village-landscaping-blog/tag/fall-clean-ups), [leaf raking](https://info.quietvillagelandscaping.com/quiet-village-landscaping-blog/tag/leaf-raking), [best fall landscaping ideas](https://info.quietvillagelandscaping.com/quiet-village-landscaping-blog/tag/best-fall-landscaping-ideas), [fall landscaping](https://info.quietvillagelandscaping.com/quiet-village-landscaping-blog/tag/fall-landscaping), [autumn decorations](https://info.quietvillagelandscaping.com/quiet-village-landscaping-blog/tag/autumn-decorations) ## [Fall Secrets For A Beautiful Lawn Next Spring](https://info.quietvillagelandscaping.com/quiet-village-landscaping-blog/blog/fall-secrets-beautiful-lawn-spring) [Dennis](https://info.quietvillagelandscaping.com/quiet-village-landscaping-blog/author/dennis) Aug 2, 2022, 9:46:41 AM Fall Secrets For A Beautiful Lawn Next Spring November 15, 2016 Eco-Friendly, Landscape Maintenance...
