Why Fall is the Best Time to Fertilize Your Lawn

As the temperatures drop and leaves begin to fall, many
homeowners shift their focus away from lawn care.
However, fall is actually the most critical time to fertilize
your lawn. At Daisy & Co, we believe that proper fall
fertilization sets the foundation for a lush, healthy lawn
come spring. Here's why fall is the best season for feeding
your grass.

During the fall, grass shifts its energy from growing blades
to strengthening its root system. Applying fertilizer during
this time ensures that roots absorb essential nutrients,
helping them withstand harsh winter conditions and emerge
stronger in the spring.

A well-fertilized lawn in the fall reaps the benefits when
temperatures warm up again. The nutrients stored in the
roots over the winter help promote vigorous growth and a
rich green color in early spring, giving your lawn a head
start.

Summer heat, foot traffic, and frequent mowing deplete
your lawn's soil of essential nutrients. Fall fertilization
helps replenish these lost nutrients, restoring the soil's
health and ensuring continued growth.

A strong lawn is less susceptible to weeds and diseases.
Feeding your lawn in the fall helps it develop a dense root
system, which crowds out weeds and makes the grass more
resistant to common lawn diseases.

Fall temperatures and moisture levels create the ideal
conditions for slow-release fertilizers to work effectively.
These fertilizers gradually provide nutrients over time,
allowing the grass to absorb them at a steady pace and
sustain growth.

Applying the right fertilizer at the right time makes all the
difference in maintaining a healthy, vibrant lawn. If you're
unsure about the best type of fertilizer for your lawn, Daisy
& Co is here to help. Our team of lawn care experts
