Fall is the season when you deliver services that rejuvenate heat-stressed, compacted lawns after a scorching summer and set them up for a strong spring. Lawns take a beating with months of heavy foot traffic, little rain, and high temperatures.
You can professionally deliver seed, fertilizer, and topdressing more efficiently than ever with Spyker spreaders.
Here’s how fall lawn services build customer trust and deliver results.
Building Client Trust with Fall Landscaping Services
After a hot, dry summer, many of the lawns you manage need a refresh. Homeowners want their cool-season turf to look its best heading into winter, without any leaves, weeds, or other yard debris littering their property.
Your customers also want your fall landscaping services because they don’t have the time, energy, or lawn equipment to put their yards to bed for the winter.
As a professional, you’re the one that homeowners rely on to deliver the results they want this fall.
With Spyker spreaders, you can follow up your aeration services with overseeding, topdressing, and other fall lawn services with more precision and efficiency, enhancing your company’s reputation.

Give Your Clients’ Lawns a Fresh Start with Aeration & Overseeding
Many of the lawns you work on will show thinning turf and compacted soil. If you work on cool-season turf, fall’s the best time to aerate and overseed it.
While aeration mostly wraps up by mid-October, you can overseed lawns until later in the month if you live in a region where the soil doesn’t freeze until early November.
Matter of fact, it’s better to seed your lawn after the first frost because crabgrass dies and you’ll see better turf seeding results.
Overseeding success depends on good seed-to-soil contact, and you need contractor-grade spreaders to distribute seed and fertilizer evenly, giving lawns improved germination rates and healthier springtime turf.
Plus, the freeze-thaw cycles of late fall and winter also allow turf seeds to receive moisture and occasional warmth, enabling germination by early spring.
Once you finish aeration and oveseeding, you want to add topdressing to enhance soil and improve germination.

Topdressing Elevates Your Fall Landscaping Services
Add a nutritional boost to your customers’ lawns with topdressing by providing a compost, sand, and topsoil mix that improves aeration and soil quality. Topdressing also adds beneficial microbes, helps with seed germination, levels lawns, and breaks down thatch.
You can add more nutrition by using vegetative compost in your topdressing that consists of plants, grass clippings, leaves, and other plant waste that has broken down.
Vegetative compost enriches soil with slow-release nutrients, balances pH, prevents erosion, and improves soil structure.
After you’ve given your clients a powerful head start for spring, ensure that your technicians have the professional equipment to deliver those results.
