Taking care of a lawn and keeping it healthy is practically a year-round task. So much attention is given to the grass during the growing season, but fall care is essential to help the grass overwinter and “spring” back to robust growth as the weather warms up.

Mulch decomposing isn’t a bad thing. In fact, it adds nutrients and organic matter to the soil, enriching it and helping plants thrive and grow. Mulch can often last up to five years, but that depends on the type of mulch, how much sun it is exposed to, and the weather conditions.
