The Benefits of Lawn Winterization

Did you know your lawn keeps working even after it stops growing in the fall?

Grass uses the fall months to strengthen roots and store food for winter. Applying a winterization fertilizer helps it build reserves that last through snow and cold, ensuring your lawn greens up faster in spring.

Benefits of winterization include:

• Stronger root systems to survive harsh weather.
• Nutrient storage for early growth in spring.
• Improved resilience against disease and stress.

Why Broadleaf Weed Control Works Best Now

Why is September one of the most important months for lawn care?

Weeds like dandelions, clover, and chickweed often appear harmless in late summer, but they’re busy storing energy in their roots—just like your grass. When you apply broadleaf weed control in early fall, the herbicide is carried deep into the plant as it stores nutrients for winter, making it far more effective than spring treatments.

Benefits of early fall weed control include:

• Fewer weeds come back next year.
• Less competition for water, nutrients, and sunlight.
• Improved curb appeal heading into the dormant season.

September offers the ideal combination of cooler temperatures, adequate soil moisture, and active root growth. Treating your lawn now means you’ll tackle weeds when they’re most vulnerable and give your grass the nutrition it needs to thrive.

Why Fall Fertilization Matters

Did you know that fertilizing in the fall set you up for success in the spring?

During the fall, grass plants shift their energy from growing above ground to root development. Applying a fall fertilizer in September provides the nutrients your lawn needs to strengthen those roots, store energy, and recover from the summer heat. Stronger roots mean your lawn will turn green faster in the spring, resist drought better, and be more resilient.

Benefits of fall fertilization include:

• Healthier root systems to sustain your lawn through the winter.
• Improved nutrient storage for quick spring growth.
• Enhanced resilience against pests, diseases, and environmental stress.

Mid-Summer Fertilizer Strategy

What’s the best way to apply fertilizer in the summer?

Here’s what Ever So Green recommends:

• Timing is Key. Apply fertilizer roughly 6–8 weeks after the late-spring feeding, typically July or August.
• Water Wisely. Follow up fertilizer with deep irrigation — aim to moisten the soil 4–6″ deep. Our lawn techs advise light, frequent watering to accompany your nutrient program.
• Consider Disease and Weed Control. Mid summer is also a time when weeds and fungus may spike. Consider using Ever So Green’s weed control services at the same time.

Mid-Summer Fertilization Benefits

You may be wondering: if you fertilized in the spring, why is it important to fertilize in the summer?

Here’s how a smart mid summer boost helps your lawn:

1. Replenishes Nutrients Depleted by Heat

Intense summer heat depletes soil nitrogen, potassium, and other essential nutrients. Mid summer feeding restores this balance, helping grass stay lush and vibrant.

2. Enhances Drought Resilience & Root Depth

Fertilization encourages deeper root development, allowing grass to tap moisture resources during dry spells. Slow release formulas also stabilize soil and promote moisture retention.

3. Helps Maintain Aesthetic Appeal

Without a mid summer feeding, lawns can become patchy, thin, or brown. Re supplying nutrients keeps turf full-bodied and photo ready, even under the hot sun.

4. Supports Ongoing Recovery

Summer fertilizer keeps grass in recovery mode, prepping it for rejuvenation in fall. A well-nourished lawn enters winter smoothly and bounces back quickly in the spring.

Midsummer is Grub Control Season!

Have you thought about how you’re going to protect your lawn from grubs?

As summer heats up, your lawn becomes especially vulnerable to grub infestations — the C-shaped larvae of beetles that feed on grassroots. Left unchecked, these pests can wreak havoc on your lawn, causing weakened turf, brown patches, and increased vulnerability to drought and disease.

Ever So Green recommends mid-summer grub control, typically in midsummer, as part of our service plans. Combined with fertilization, weed control, and aeration, this enhances curb appeal and strengthens lawn resilience.

How Grubs Harm Your Lawn

Why is grub control so important for your lawn?

Beetles lay eggs in late spring to early summer, and those eggs hatch into grubs in June and July. This is the critical developmental window when grubs are small, just starting to feed, and most vulnerable to control efforts.

Grubs munch on grassroots, which can lead to loose, spongey soil and dead patches as turf loses root support. It can also Attract wildlife digging for larvae (e.g. skunks, raccoons, birds), causing further lawn damage.

Ever So Green treatments strike at the heart of grub activity, preventing root damage that leads to spongy turf and brown spots.
