Why your lawn needs fall and winter fertilization

October 26, 2025

Your lawn care shouldn't stop at the end of the summer. Fall and winter are critical times for your lawn's overall health and root development.

Our full season program to  includes everything your lawn needs from pre-emergent before spring through winter fertilization. Here are the top reasons why you need to be on a program that includes fall and winter fertilization: 

  1. Strengthen roots before winter with the nutrients your lawn needs to support root development before the ground freezes.
  2. The heat, drought, and foot traffic in the lawn through the summer puts a lot of stress on your lawn. Fall and winter applications help repair your lawn from this stress.
  3. Dormancy doesn't mean your lawn is dead; fall and winter applications give your grass plants food for the winter.
  4. Fall fertilizer is a major component to spring growth and curb appeal.
  5. If you're seeding, fall fertilizer helps support the root development of the new grass plants.
