Is your lawn ready for winter?
Though we’ve had mild weather in Bloomington so far this fall, winter will soon be coming. Don’t let your lawn’s slowed growth fool you; now is the time that your grass needs nourishment more than ever. One of the best ways to help your lawn stay strong through the winter and be even greener next spring is with a winter feed of fertilizer.
Winter feed is fertilizer that is applied in the fall that gives your grass the nutrients it needs throughout the winter. It is a part of the service we offer to our clients and we believe it is the most important application all year. It gives your lawn:
- Better fall & winter color: healthier grass will hold its green color better into the winter months.
- Strength: healthy grass can better thrive throughout the cold winter months.
- Earlier spring green-up: stronger roots & healthier plants means your grass will turn greener faster when the weather warms up.
- Better weed control: healthier grass is better able to out-compete weeds and keeps new ones from sprouting.
- Increased energy reserves: a full feeding of nitrogen helps grass store energy throughout the winter.
- A jump-start on spring growth: fully nourished grass is able to use those reserves to grow earlier and faster when the weather warms up in the spring.
- Stronger roots: stimulate root growth & health to protect against disease, injury, and drought.
