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.
