How Many Times Does Your Lawn Need to Be Fertilized in Summer?

Fertilizing your lawn in Pennsylvania is essential for maintaining its health and vibrancy, especially during the summer. However, you may wonder how many times you should apply these treatments during the summer season. Well, you'll want to fertilize your grass twice in the summer: once in early to mid-summer and again in late summer/early fall. The first application will keep it healthy and strong in the midst of the hottest time of the year, while the second will replenish its nutrients and aid in its recovery from summer stress. Additionally, you should utilize weed control treatments with your fertilizer applications to prevent weeds from stealing vital nutrients from your lawn during this stressful time.


Apply the first fertilizer treatment in early to mid-summer to keep your lawn healthy and strong.

The first fertilizer application in early to mid-summer is crucial for keeping your lawn healthy and strong. After all, it's in the midst of the hottest time of the year, so it will need all the help it can get to withstand the heat. This treatment will provide much-needed nutrients to fortify your grass and bolster its defenses against the stressors it faces, including high temperatures and drought. With this nourishment, your lawn will have a better chance of staying green and vibrant throughout the summer.

A slow-release, granular fertilizer in the summer is ideal to supply nutrients gradually, providing consistent support while avoiding fertilizer burn.

Apply the second fertilizer treatment in late summer/early fall to help your lawn recover.

As the summer season comes to an end, your lawn may have endured a lot of stress from the heat and other environmental factors. That's where the second fertilizer application in late summer/early fall comes in. This treatment will replenish its nutrients and aid in its recovery from summer stress, helping it regain its strength and vitality. Additionally, this fertilizer treatment will prepare your lawn for the fall, ensuring it has enough nutrients to transition into this season in good shape.


Utilize weed control treatments with your fertilizer applications in the summer.

While fertilizing your lawn in the summer is essential for providing the nourishment it needs, you don't want weeds stealing those nutrients for themselves. Because of this, you should utilize weed control treatments with your summer fertilizer applications. Weeds are opportunistic plants that can quickly invade your lawn and outcompete it for resources, especially during the summer when it's already under a lot of stress. By using weed control treatments, you can prevent weeds from taking over your lawn and ensure that it receives the full benefit of the fertilizer applications.
