Fall Lawn Care

When your lawn and soil are in harmony, the natural balance will be restored, and this will protect your lawn against most insects, weeds, and turf diseases, and improve the heat and cold tolerance of your grass. The soil will become more permeable and alive with beneficial microbial organisms, allowing water, air, and grass roots to penetrate into the soil more deeply, establishing a better foundation for the grass to flourish.

Broadleaf weeds are still actively growing in the fall, so this is a great time to use a product like Jonathan Green Lawn Weed Control. The improved three-way formula provides broadleaf weed control of more than 200 lawn weeds. This straight weed control product does not contain any fertilizer, so there’s no possibility of overfeeding and burning the grass.

If your lawn always has dandelions and broadleaf weeds use Green-Up Weed & Feed in the fall when these weeds are actively growing. This premium grade herbicide and lawn fertilizer combination controls weeds while feeding the lawn. Green-Up Weed & Feed will feed desirable grasses with 35% slow-release nitrogen fertilizer for up to 3 months and kill weeds down to the root.

From early September through late-November, fertilize your lawn with Winter Survival Fall Lawn Food. The high potassium formula helps promote deep rooting and contains nitrogen to help repair summer damage. If you spread Winter Survival early in the fall, apply it again in the first week of November to safeguard the lawn through the winter and enjoy greener grass early next spring.

If you have a newly seeded lawn and want to help it survive the stresses of the upcoming winter, try Green-Up Fertilizer for Seeding and Sodding. It will help new seeds sprout quickly to develop deep, dense roots, and a thicker, fuller lawn. The formula contains 1% iron to fortify the grass and give it a deep shade of natural green color and 30% slow-release nitrogen to give the lawn the nutrients it needs in a time-released formula.
