As the leaves start to fall and the temperature cools, spring is probably the last thing on your mind. However, planning for a beautiful spring lawn starts in fall and now is the perfect time to get your grass in shape for the season. There are three specific tasks that will make your lawn shine in spring: Lawn aeration and overseeding, fertilization, and winterizer, which is a type of winter lawn fertilizer.
Core Aeration and Overseeding
Core aeration and overseeding work together to improve the health of your grass. This is especially helpful if your grass is thinning with bare patches. During the core aeration process, small plugs of soil are removed to allow for air, water, and nutrients to reach the root system.
Fertilization
The need to fertilize your lawn doesn’t stop in the summer. Fall fertilization helps strengthen your grass before the harsh winter temperatures hit. It is ideal to start your first fall fertilizer application before the first frost while the ground is still soft, and the nutrients can absorb into the roots.
Winterizer
Winterizer is a high-nitrogen fertilizer designed to help your grass store more food and nutrients it needs to survive winter. Winterizer is applied after the last application of fall fertilizer is put down.
