Combining Weed Control & Fertilization Treatments Is a Must This Fall

Fall is the season of change for your lawn in Pennsylvania. It will be trying to recover from the stressful summer season while also preparing to enter winter dormancy. To strengthen your lawn so it's in its best condition during the fall, you should combine both lawn fertilization and weed control treatments. Fertilization treatments will supply your lawn turf with the nutrients it needs to recover from the heat of the summer and strengthen it so it can make it through the winter. Weed control treatments will eliminate pesky weeds so they don't steal the nutrients from fertilizer treatments for themselves. The timing of these treatments will play a large role in their success, so you need to time them right. You should fertilize your lawn once in early fall and again in late fall, while you'll only need to apply a weed control treatment once in the late fall.

Fertilizer treatments will strengthen your lawn to help it recover from the summer and prepare it for the winter.

As summer comes to an end, your lawn will need some extra help recovering from the heat it endured throughout the season. That's where fertilization treatments come in. Fertilizers contain the essential nutrients your lawn will need to recover from the stress and get back to full health. What's more, fertilizer treatments will also strengthen your lawn so that your turf will be able to make it through the winter season in good shape and emerge healthy in the spring.

Apply a weed control treatment in the fall to prevent weeds from stealing nutrients from your grass.

Weeds are not only unsightly, but they can also weaken your grass by stealing the nutrients meant for your turf. That's why you should invest in weed control treatments in the fall! Post-emergent weed control treatments are designed to eliminate existing weeds from your turf. By ridding your lawn of weeds, your grass will have full access to the nutrients from lawn fertilization treatments. If you were to skip weed control treatments, weeds could absorb some of the nutrients from fertilization treatments for themselves, causing the weeds to get stronger while your turf gets weaker.

Apply fertilizer treatments in the early fall and late fall, and weed control treatments in the late fall.

While it's essential to apply both lawn fertilization and weed control treatments to your lawn during the fall, the timing of the applications is crucial to their success. Fertilizer treatments should be applied to your lawn twice during the fall: once in the early fall and once in late fall. The first treatment will focus more on resupplying your lawn with nutrients to help it recover from any summer-related damage. The second treatment will be to refresh the nutrients in your lawn so that it will be able to feed off of them throughout the winter. When it comes to weed control, just a single treatment in the late fall will be enough to keep your turf weed-free.
