BLOG Navigating Lawn Nutrition: Grass Kickers' Seasonal Feeding Guide Oct 23, 2024

As the seasons change, so do the needs of your lawn. At Grass Kickers Lawn Care and Landscaping, we understand the importance of proper lawn nutrition to ensure your grass stays healthy and vibrant year-round. In this seasonal feeding guide, we will walk you through the best practices for feeding your lawn at different times of the year.

Spring:

As the weather warms up and your grass begins to wake up from its winter dormancy, it's time to give it a boost of nutrients. In the spring, we recommend using a high-nitrogen fertilizer to promote lush, green growth. Be sure to apply the fertilizer evenly across your lawn and water it in well to help the nutrients penetrate the soil.

Summer:

The summer months can be tough on your lawn, with heat and drought putting stress on the grass. To help your lawn withstand these conditions, we recommend using a slow-release fertilizer in the summer. This will provide your grass with a steady supply of nutrients over time, helping it stay healthy and strong.

Fall:

As the weather cools down and your grass prepares for winter, it's important to give it one final feeding. In the fall, we recommend using a fertilizer with a higher potassium content to help your grass develop strong roots and better withstand the cold winter months. This will also help your lawn green up faster in the spring.

Winter:

While your grass may be dormant during the winter, it's still important to give it some TLC. Avoid using any fertilizers during the winter months, as this can actually harm your grass. Instead, focus on keeping leaves and debris off your lawn to prevent suffocation and allow air and moisture to reach the roots.

In addition to fertilizing your lawn at the right times of year, it's also important to pay attention to other aspects of lawn care, such as proper mowing and watering. By following our seasonal feeding guide and practicing good lawn care habits, you can help your grass thrive and create a beautiful outdoor space to enjoy all year long.
