Essential Lawn Tips for Fall & Winter

1. Winter Fertilizer

Improving your lawns root system now is the key to a lush, healthy, green lawn come spring.

As temperatures drop, your lawn naturally protects the exposed parts (visible grass) by substantially slowing growth.  A little know secret… the roots grow quite well when soil temperatures are between 40 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Our specialized winter fertilization application provides a variety of nutrients your root system requires.

• Slow release Nitrogen to help keep the green in your lawn and ensure the root system has nutrients throughout the winter, more importantly, come spring.
• Phosphorus for root growth
• Potassium for disease resistance 

Come spring as your lawn feels warmer temperatures and recognizes longer days, its life cycle has a jump start!!  The “improved” root system will absorb higher amounts of water, soil nutrients and utilize leftover food supply resulting in stronger, healthier roots.

2. Fallen Leaves

Using a mulching mower when there are a few leaves is good for the soil and root development.  When numerous leaves pile up remove them by raking, bagging or blowing. Thick leave layers will mat together depriving your grass of air, sun, and water while encouraging harmful, damaging insect and fungal diseases
