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.

The Role of Spot Weed Control

What’s the difference between spot weed control and regular weed control?

Even the healthiest lawns can develop a few weeds here and there. Rather than applying a blanket herbicide that can stress your turf in warm temperatures, spot treatment is the smart choice in June. Here are the benefits of spot treatment:

Targets Specific Problem Areas. Apply weed control only where needed to eliminate broadleaf weeds like dandelions, clover, and plantain.

Reduces Chemical Use. Spot control minimizes herbicide exposure to your lawn and the environment.

Prevents Spread. Tackling weeds early keeps them from seeding and spreading through your yard.

Be sure to spot-treat on cooler days (below 85°F) and follow label instructions to avoid damaging your grass. Ever So Green can also do this for you!

Why Fertilize in Early Summer?

There are several times during the year that people fertilize—why is it important to fertilize early in the summer?

By June, your lawn has already used up much of the spring fertilizer you applied (whether you fertilized yourself or had Ever So Green apply it for you). Here are the benefits of early summer fertilization:

Strengthens Root System. Fertilizing at this time promotes root development to help your grass withstand heat and occasional drought.

Boosts Green Color. Summer fertilizer enhances the lawn’s vibrant green appearance just in time for summer gatherings.

Maintains Density. Applying early summer fertilizer encourages thick, even growth that naturally crowds out weeds.

For best results, use a slow-release nitrogen fertilizer formulated for summer use. This provides steady nutrition over time without forcing excessive top growth, which can stress the lawn during hot weather. Of course, it’s always easier to have Ever So Green perform a soil test for your lawn to determine what nutrients it needs the most!

Intro to May Lawn Fertilization

Did you know that May is prime time for lawn fertilization?

Alongside weed control, fertilizing in May gives your lawn the nutrients it needs for vigorous growth and a deep green color. A spring feeding supports strong roots, helps grass compete against weeds, and preps your lawn for the heat of summer.

Key Nutrients to Look For:

• Nitrogen (N): Promotes lush, green top growth.
• Phosphorus (P): Supports root development (use phosphorus-free if your soil already has enough).
• Potassium (K): Helps improve drought and disease resistance.

Intro to May Weed Control

Have you recently noticed weeds sprouting in your yard?

Dandelions, clover, chickweed, and other broadleaf weeds thrive in the same conditions as your grass. If left unchecked, they can quickly take over your lawn, stealing nutrients, water, and sunlight. By treating these weeds in May, you can catch them while they’re still young and more vulnerable to herbicides.

Why Prevent Weeds in May?

• Soil temperatures are warm enough for herbicides to work effectively.
• Weeds are actively growing and absorbing nutrients—making them more susceptible to treatment.
• Early control prevents weeds from flowering and seeding, reducing future infestations.

It's Time for Fall Fertilization!

Why is it important to fertilize in the fall?

While spring and summer are often in the lawn care spotlight, the autumn months set the stage for lush, green grass the following year. By feeding your grass helpful nutrients during this season, you're promoting its long-term health. 

Fall fertilization encourages the development of a strong, healthy root system. Deep, sturdy roots are crucial for anchoring your grass during the winter, preventing soil erosion and optimizing water and nutrient intake. As a result, your lawn comes out of winter thicker, greener, and better equipped to withstand the upcoming growing season.

To maximize the benefits of fall fertilization, timing is essential. Apply your chosen fertilizer several weeks before the first expected frost to allow ample time for nutrient absorption. By following this simple yet effective practice, you'll be well on your way to a year-round healthy lawn.

Look Out for Broadleaf Weeds in Autumn

What weeds do you need to look out for during autumn?

Another benefit of fall fertilization lies in its weed-suppressing properties. A dense, healthy lawn creates a strong barrier, making it significantly more challenging for weeds to establish themselves, including broadleaf weeds, which are still present in the fall.

Broadleaf weeds can jeopardize the health of your lawn by soaking up nutrients that would otherwise keep your grass healthy. Replenishing the nutrients in your soil with fertilizer will help encourage grass growth and make it harder for weeds to take root. By fortifying your grass in the fall, you're proactively reducing the need for aggressive weed control measures in the spring and summer.

Fall's Upcoming Weeds

Are weeds overtaking your lawn?

Dandelions are a type of broadleaf weed. Broadleaf weeds are pretty self-explanatory—they’re weeds with broad leaves! This distinguishes them from “grass weeds.” Clover, plantain, and thistle are also broadleaf weeds. The leaves have one main vein with smaller veins branching off. These weeds are most common in the fall.

Fall Means Fertilization!

Has the summer sun taken a toll on your grass?

Summer can be hard on your lawn. Excessive heat causes heat stress, which makes it hard for your grass to hold nutrients and stay hydrated. Fall weather gives your lawn a chance to recover from the constant heat. Fertilizing your grass during this recovery time helps strengthen the roots for the winter, and also gives it a health boost for the spring!

A Beautiful Lawn Makes a Beautiful House!

Did you know that fertilizing your lawn boosts curb appeal?

Fertilizing your own lawn requires specialized equipment as well as specific knowledge of your lawn’s pH level and grass type. If you don’t have a specialized spreader or pH kit handy, you might want to join the thousands of Michiganders who use professional lawn care every year.

Fertilizing the lawn doesn’t have to be an overpriced affair that consumes half your summer. In fact, many people maintain lush lawns with just a few applications throughout the year. The right fertilizer regimen can even provide your lawn with nutrients that will help protect it during the winter, giving it year-round protection.

Do you find it hard to keep your lawn looking lush and green? If so, it’s probably time to hire professional lawn fertilization.

Wait Until Late Spring to Fertilize

If you’ve lived in Michigan for years, you know how rough winter weather can be on your lawn. Months of freezing cold and snow can take a toll on your previously green lawn.

When spring has sprung, make sure you’re prepared with our spring lawn care prep tips:

Clean: When the snow melts, pick up any fallen branches and leftover leaves on your lawn and in flower beds. Rake to give your lawn a lift after the cold weather. This will help promote new growth.
