Fertilizing your lawn in Ohio is crucial to keeping it healthy and beautiful. However, timing is everything, and you'll want to consider the weather before applying these treatments. You shouldn't put down fertilizer before heavy rain because it can wash it away before your soil has a chance to absorb it. On the other hand, you can fertilize it after it rains, but you'll want to ensure the grass blades are completely dry and that it'll be sunny for a few days afterward. To make your life easier, you can enroll in a lawn fertilization program, as pros know how to apply these treatments and will do so at the right time to yield the best results.

You shouldn't fertilize your lawn before heavy rain.

While some fertilizers need to be watered in to activate and help the soil absorb them, you shouldn't apply a treatment to your lawn before heavy rain. After all, it can cause the product to wash away before it has a chance to do its job, meaning your lawn won't reap the intended benefits. Not only that, but it can also lead to runoff into nearby water sources, which is harmful to the environment. However, it's okay to fertilize your lawn if it's only going to rain lightly, as it won't be enough to wash it away.

You can fertilize your lawn after it rains, but you'll want to consider a few things first.

While you shouldn't fertilize your lawn before heavy rain, you can do so afterward. However, you'll want to consider a few things first. For example, you'll want to ensure the grass blades are completely dry before applying the fertilizer treatment. If not, it can stick to them and potentially burn them, plus result in uneven nutrient distribution and runoff. Additionally, you'll want to check the weather forecast to ensure that it'll be sunny for a few days after you fertilize your lawn. That way, there's enough sunlight to promote the breakdown of the product and proper absorption of the nutrients so your lawn reaps the intended benefits.

It's important to fertilize your lawn several times throughout the growing season to ensure it has a consistent supply of nutrients.
