When you think of mowing, spring might come to mind, but the grass doesn’t stop growing in the cool weather. That being said, there’s still plenty of mowing that needs to be done once autumn arrives, and it doesn’t stop until the first snowfall. With John Deere mowers, you can take on the task at hand without any problems.

Let’s take a look at some helpful tips you can take into consideration this autumn to ensure that your yard is fully prepared for the season ahead.

1. Check Your Mower Blade

Over the past century, John Deere has consistently introduced new ideas and technology in order to make lives easier.

When looking to nurture thick and healthy grass, don’t underestimate the power of overseeding! The best time to do this is in fall due to warm soil temperatures, cool nights, and a strong possibility of rain at any given point.  By overseeding your lawn before the end of the season, the grass seed will have time to germinate and become established before winter.
