With shorter days, cooler temperatures, and a lower UV index, lawns will be less thirsty. Adjust the sprinklers now and monthly to water less as the winter rains kick in. If we have a rainy winter, you can shut off the sprinklers completely until spring. Dethatching the lawn now with a special thatching rake is also a good idea. This removes dead material and allows water to reach the roots more easily. Finally, consider fertilizing your lawn for the last time this year, following label directions for application.
