How Many Times Should My Lawn Be Fertilized During the Fall Season?

Your lawn in Pennsylvania needs to be fertilized multiple times during the fall season. The first time your lawn should be fertilized is early in the fall. This treatment will help your grass recover from any summer-related stress, such as heat and drought, by supplying it with much-needed nutrients. Then, you should fertilize your lawn one last time late in the fall. This final treatment helps prepare your turf for winter dormancy. However, DIY fertilization is not recommended because it's easy to make mistakes, and your grass will have to pay for them. That's why you should always hire professionals to fertilize your lawn because they will apply the treatments at the right time and use a high-quality fertilizer that contains everything your grass needs to thrive.

Fertilizing your lawn once in early fall will help it recover from summer stress.

Summer can take a toll on your grass, especially when it has to endure hot temperatures and go without water for long periods of time. Because of this, it's important to ensure your lawn receives all the nutrients it needs to recover from any summer-related stress. So, you should have your lawn fertilized once in early fall. This application will supply your grass with the nutrients it needs to recover from any summer-related stress and start growing strong again. What's more, fertilizing your lawn in early fall will also give it a boost in strength, which will allow it to enter the fall season in tip-top shape!

You should fertilize your lawn once in late fall to prepare it for winter.

As winter approaches, your grass will go into dormancy so that it can survive the freezing temperatures. However, before it does, you should make sure it has enough nutrients to store up and feed off of throughout the winter months. That's where late fall fertilization comes in! You should fertilize your lawn one last time in late fall to prepare it for winter. This application will provide your grass with a nutrient boost just in time for the colder weather. It will also encourage deep root growth so that your lawn can store as many nutrients as possible before going dormant.

Always Hire Professionals to Fertilize Your Lawn

While you can fertilize your lawn yourself, we highly recommend you don't. For one, it's very easy to overfertilize your lawn if you do it yourself, and that can cause damage to your grass. Additionally, you might miss out on using a higher-quality fertilizer, which won't provide your lawn with the nutrients it needs to flourish. Instead of risking damaging your lawn or using an inferior product, you should always hire professionals to fertilize your lawn. Pros know how often and when to apply fertilizers to yield optimal results, and they will always use a high-quality fertilizer that contains everything your grass needs to thrive.
