Key Takeaways
Fall fertilizer promotes spring growth:- Root Strengthening: Fall fertilizing is crucial for root fortification, setting the stage for robust spring growth.
- Early Green-Up: Lawns treated with fall fertilizer green up more quickly and vigorously in spring.
- Visual Benefits: Despite dormant periods, fall fertilization results in noticeable visual improvements when the growing season begins.
Now that the grass is growing it is obvious to see what lawns were taken care of during the off season. What does this mean? There are some lawns that just green up right away and others that take weeks to even show signs that the turf is still alive. So what is secret? Fertilizer! Many people like to skip the final application of fertilizer in the fall because they know that their lawn will go dormant shortly after, so why fertilize if there is no visual benefits? The reason fall fertilizing is very important is because it helps strengthen the roots and will prepare the lawn for the next spring.
Below is a quick video of one of our customers who has the greenest lawn in the neighborhood. Fred has appropriately fertilized which has encouraged his lawn to spring up quickly and look amazing this early in the season.
