Beautification
Keeping Rustic Woods Beautiful!
The RWNA Beautification Committee cares for the entrances and common areas, decorates for holidays, and awards with the Yard of the Month.
Seasonal lawn care checklist
Open the season you're in — the current season starts expanded.
Fall is the perfect time to strengthen your lawn before winter hits. By giving your yard some extra attention now, you'll ensure it bounces back greener and healthier come spring. Here's a helpful checklist to guide your fall lawn care routine.
Rake leaves regularly
Keep fallen leaves from piling up — they block sunlight and can trap moisture, causing disease.
Mow until the grass stops growing
Gradually lower your mower height for the final few cuts, but never scalp the lawn.
Aerate the soil
Fall is a great time to relieve soil compaction and allow air, water, and nutrients to reach the roots.
Apply fall fertilizer
A nitrogen-rich fertilizer helps strengthen roots and store nutrients over winter.
Overseed bare or thinning spots
Fall weather is ideal for seeding — cool nights and warm soil promote germination.
Control weeds
Apply a post-emergent herbicide to kill existing weeds before they go dormant.
Keep watering
Don't stop watering just because temperatures drop — your lawn still needs moisture during fall.
