Autumn lawn care

September lawn aeration and professional tips

Introduction

Autumn planting and lawn care in Budapest is useful because the soil is still warm, the air is more humid and the freshly planted plants and prepared lawns can take root before winter sets in. September is the best time to aerate, fertilise and regenerate the lawn. If we take care of our lawns now, we can expect a lush, green and hardy lawn in spring.

In this article, we'll show you the most important steps for September lawn care and why you should seek the help of a professional gardener in Budapest.


Why is September lawn aeration important?

Aeration removes the layer of felt beneath the surface of the lawn that prevents water, air and nutrients from reaching the roots. This allows the lawn to breathe, regenerate faster and better prepare for the winter.

Lawn aeration is particularly important if:

  • the lawn is mossy, weedy or too compact,

  • grass growth has slowed down,

  • the lawn surface is uneven and dull.


Professional lawn care steps in September

1. Preparatory lawn mowing

The lawn should be mowed to a height of 3-4 cm, so that the aerator has easier access to the soil and the felt layer. Short cut grass reduces the risk of root damage.

2. Lawn aeration

Aerate the lawn transversely and longitudinally using machinery or hand tools. The ideal depth is 0.5-1 cm, so that the root system is not damaged and the soil can breathe properly.

3. Soil loosening and structural repair

The loosening of compacted soil improves water and oxygen permeability. For compacted soil, sanding can be used to improve drainage and aeration.

4. Nutrient replenishment and fertilisation

In the autumn, fertilisers rich in phosphorus and potassium are preferred, as they strengthen the root system and increase the lawn's resistance to winter cold.

5. Watering and regenerating rest

After the lawn has been aerated, it should be watered abundantly. This helps seed germination, soil moistening and rapid lawn regeneration.
