Fertilizing

fertilizingFertilizing your lawn is one of the most important things that you can do. A healthy lawn will be more resilient to heat, cold, drought, mowing, and foot traffic. Feeding your lawn four times a year will make it healthier and more beautiful. With proper lawn care, your plants will grow beautifully and vibrant.

Early Spring

Why feed:

In the spring, your lawn is hungry! It strengthens its roots and gives it a head start.

Timing:

When your grass starts to grow and is greening up, apply early spring fertilizer between February and April. This is when you first need to mow your lawn.

Late Spring

Why feed:

Your grass will be busy by this time and has used up all of its stored energy. You need to nourish it.

Timing:

Late spring lawn fertilizer should be applied once every 6-8 weeks, between April and June.

Summer

Why feed:

The heat, drought, foot traffic, and insects that can be found in summer are all tough on grass. Fertilizing is a way to protect and strengthen your grass.

Timing:

Summer lawn fertilizer should be applied between June and August, six to eight weeks after the late spring feeding.

Fall

Why feed:

Your lawn needs nutrients to recover from summer damages and prepare for winter. Fall lawn fertilization will help strengthen roots and increase nitrogen storage to ensure a green lawn next spring.

Timing:

Fall lawn fertilizer should be applied once every 6-8 weeks, between August and November.
