Anne Arundel Today

Yard care requires different approaches each season, and fall is the time for property owners to repair damage caused by the hot summer months and protect their lawns from the harsh winter months ahead.

According to HouseLogic.com, property owners should use this time to remove dead grass, reseed and compost the soil, and weed their lawn to protect it from harmful plants encroaching. It is also recommended owners fertilize the soil at this time of year and repair any bald patches that may have appeared during the summer.

The right products to shore up your lawn for the winter can be found at select Anne Arundel County Ace Hardware stores.

According to experts from Statista.com and BobVila.com, the average U.S. household spent nearly $200 on lawn care in 2020, depending on property size.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports Americans spent approximately $105 billion in 2021 to maintain their lawns.
