Common Mistakes in Summer Lawn Care

The biggest misstep we see is homeowners trying to "save" a struggling lawn by dumping on a high-
nitrogen fertilizer in the middle of a heat wave. That can actually damage the grass, burn the blades, and encourage weeds that love stressed-out turf.

Another one is watering too little or too much after fertilizing. A good soak after application helps the nutrients reach the root zone where they're needed.

How Ever So Green Handles Summer Fertilizing


We time our summer applications carefully depending on the weather and what we're seeing in your lawn. We use slow-release granular fertilizers that are matched to Michigan's cool-season grass varieties and current conditions.

Every application is part of a full-season plan, not a one-off fix. That's the difference between a lawn that just survives the summer and one that comes out of it looking great.


Fertilize Your Lawn in South Lyon and Surrounding Areas!


Summer fertilization isn't optional if you want a lawn that stays thick, green, and healthy through a Michigan summer. It's a targeted, strategic step that pays off in the short term, and even more when your lawn bounces back strong in September.

If you have a lawn near the South Lyon area that needs some fertilization, you’ve come to the right place! Call 517-540-1100 or request a quote here to get started.
