Even though you might be getting ready for Halloween, there’s still time for one last secret treatment that will make your lawn look amazing next year. What is this amazing secret treatment? It’s fall fertilization, the tried and true technique Whitman homeowners have been using for decades to ensure lush, vibrant grass growth in the spring.
Why is Fertilizer So Important?
Grass thinks about fertilizer the same way you think about food: as vital nutrition necessary for growth. Fertilizer contains many valuable minerals and nutrients that are essential to develop healthy root systems and strong grass. In nature, plants draw minerals and nutrients for the soil around them, which may or may not have what is needed. When the soil can’t provide what the grass needs, it doesn’t grow as well. But fertilizer augments and enhances the soil so grass can thrive.
Why is Fall Fertilization So Important?
There are three times it’s a good idea to fertilize your lawn in Whitman. Spring fertilization provides a much needed boost of nutrition at the beginning of the growing season. As a Whitman lawn service, we fertilize again midway through the growing season, to help maintain vibrant, lush grass growth. And then, to the topic at hand – fall fertilization. Fall fertilization is done near the end of the growing season to provide the grass with a reserve amount of nutrients and minerals to sustain it through the long cold months to come.
Your lawn can be fertilized as long as the ground is not frozen and it’s not covered by snow. While winter is on the way, it’s not here yet. There’s still almost a month left where fall fertilization remains a viable option. To give your lawn an extra nutritional power boost to get it through the winter well, call your Whitman lawn service to schedule fall fertilization now.
