When to Winterize Your Lawn

When should you apply your last lawn treatment of the year? 

The answer: late fall—after top growth slows but before the ground freezes. This timing allows your lawn to absorb nutrients and store energy where it matters most: underground in the root system.

Why timing matters:

• Too early = wasted nutrients on top growth.
• Too late = frozen soil blocks absorption.
• Just right = roots absorb and store nutrients for months of protection.

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.
