As the colorful leaves of fall signal winter’s approach, now is the time for essential lawn care. Applying a fall fertilizer is perhaps the most important step to prepare your grass for the cold.

Fall fertilizers are packed with nutrients that help the lawn survive a long winter’s nap. This seasonal boost strengthens roots and builds nutrient reserves, ensuring a lush spring revival.

While grass sleeps, it needs a storehouse for resilience, much the same as hibernating animals do. Fall fertilization helps lawns recover from summer stress, gear up for winter dormancy and wake up refreshed in spring.

Opt for organic fertilizers that release nutrients slowly, which prevents runoff and improves soil health. Blends with natural ingredients like fish emulsion enhance the lawn’s defense against weeds and disease.

A well-fed lawn in fall means vibrant spring growth—beauty and sustainability, all in one.
