Your October Yard Prep Checklist for a Beautiful Louisiana Lawn
Fall in northwest Louisiana means cooler evenings, football weekends, and the perfect time to give your lawn some much-needed TLC before winter sets in. Whether you’re in Shreveport, Bossier City, or nearby towns like Haughton and Minden, a little seasonal prep can make a big difference in how your yard looks now—and how healthy it will be come spring.
Here’s Lawnmasters’ October yard prep checklist to keep your landscape looking its best all season long.
1. Add Fall Color
Swap out those tired summer blooms for vibrant mums, pansies, or snapdragons. These hardy flowers thrive in cooler weather and instantly refresh your landscape beds. If you’d like help planning or installing seasonal color, our landscape design team can handle everything—from plant selection to bed preparation.
2. Schedule Lawn Aeration
Your lawn’s roots need room to breathe! Fall aeration helps loosen compacted soil, improves water and nutrient absorption, and strengthens your grass before the cooler months arrive. Schedule your service now at

3. Apply a Winterizer Treatment
Before your lawn goes dormant, feed it one last time. A winterizer sets your grass up for a greener, healthier spring. Lawnmasters’ lawn fertilization services ensure your turf gets the right nutrients for Louisiana’s unique fall and winter conditions.
4. Refresh Your Mulch
A fresh layer of mulch not only gives your beds a clean, finished look—it also protects your plants’ roots from temperature swings. Lawnmasters’ property maintenance experts can deliver and install premium mulch to keep your landscape healthy and polished all season.
5. Call Us for Christmas Lights
