Why Fertilize?
A thick Lawn full of green grass is the dream of many homeowners, but as you may have guessed, your lawn needs help from you to look its best. A healthy and actively growing lawn uses a great deal of energy, and like all living things, requires food and nutrients. This is where fertilization comes in. Fertilizer provides your lawn with the nutrients that may not be naturally available to your grass, benefitting it in various ways such as:
- Promoting new leaf and root growth
- Reducing and controlling weeds
- Replacing nutrients lost to leaching and grass clipping removal
- Aiding in recovery from foot traffic and pest damage
What’s Your Type?
When it comes to the various types and forms of lawn fertilizer, it’s important you’re feeding your lawn the right type of food. Finding the best lawn fertilizer for spring or fall requires some research on your part. Once you’re able to determine the needs of your lawn, you can choose which fertilizer type is the best fit:
- Time-release fertilizers – These are beneficial at feeding the lawn over many months.
- Gradual-release – These allow plant roots to harvest the nutrients they need slowly. This type is easy to apply and minimizes the chance of burning the lawn.
- Granular fertilizers – Available in time-release or gradual-release, and are popular due to the ease of application.
- Liquid lawn fertilizer – This application is spread using a hose to provide a quick and effective way to introduce nutrients to grass roots.

Consistency is Key
Keeping a schedule when fertilizing allows for your lawn to stay healthier, longer. So, when and how often should you fertilize? That depends on your grass type:
- Warm-Season Grasses– Some popular warm-season grasses include Bermuda, St. Augustine & Centipede . These grow best when the growing season temperatures average between 80 and 95 degrees, and go dormant in winter. Easier to maintain than cool-season grasses, When it comes to fertilization. Insects such as chinch bugs, sod webworm , mole crickets and more will be more damaging to your Beautiful Green Grass
- Cool-Season Grasses: These include Kentucky Bluegrass, Tall Fescue and Bentgrass, and as expected, these types of grasses grow in cooler climates, when the temperatures range from 60-75 degrees. You won’t need to worry about fertilizing these cool-season lawns until fall rolls around.
Keep Success on Your Side
Now that you have a better idea of the lawn fertilizer process, here are a few tips to keep in mind for your lawn care journey:
- Water your lawn lightly Post fertilization and allow grass to dry.
- Do not over-fertilize in an attempt to get quicker results.
- Allow your grass clippings to sit on your lawn for additional nutrients. Unless you have a disease such as brown patch. Always bag clippings when you have lawn disease
