By September a Lafayette lawn has taken a beating — three months of hard sun, one hail afternoon, and soil packed tight as a road. M4 Landscaping answers with the fall side of the work: aeration and overseeding, the last mows, trimming and edging, and the cleanup that carries a yard into cold weather. Out on the newer streets running east toward Erie the turf is young and the wind has nothing to slow it, so autumn care matters more than most people expect. Do it in September and the yard comes out of winter already ahead. There is something satisfying about work whose payoff shows up six months later.
