Autumn Lawn Care Tips: How & When to Feed Your Lawn Before Winter
When should I start autumn lawn care?
Aim to begin your autumn lawn care routine from early September through to November, before the first frost. The soil is still warm enough for nutrients to be absorbed, and the timing helps strengthen roots for winter survival.
What’s different about autumn lawn feed?
Autumn-specific feeds contain lower nitrogen and higher potassium—just what your lawn needs to build root strength and disease resistance, rather than promoting leafy growth that won't cope well with cold.
Do I need to mow first?
Yes! Give your lawn a tidy cut before applying any feed. Just don’t scalp it—keep the height a little longer than your summer mow to protect it from winter chill.
Should I water it in?
If rain isn’t forecast, it’s a good idea to lightly water after applying. Moisture helps the nutrients soak into the soil more effectively.
Top tip: Pair your autumn feed with a bit of scarifying and aeration beforehand. This removes dead thatch and opens up the soil, allowing the nutrients to penetrate deep where they’re most needed.
