The fall season in Ohio is the perfect time to give your lawn a boost of nutrients and eliminate any weeds that may be growing on it. That's right, combining weed control and fertilization treatments this fall is a must! For one, fertilizing your grass will help it recover from the stress it endured during the summer months. It will also prepare it for the winter by giving it much-needed nutrients so it can store them and survive until spring. On the other hand, applying weed control treatments in the fall will ensure weeds don't steal these same nutrients for themselves. However, you should apply both treatments once in the early fall and then again in the late fall to achieve the best results.

Fertilizing your lawn in the fall will give it a boost of nutrients to recover from summer-related stress.

Your lawn goes through a lot during the summer months due to heat and drought, so it needs all the help it can get after the season ends to recover. A great way to give your grass a much-needed boost of nutrients is by fertilizing it in the fall. Lawn fertilizers contain essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium that promote rapid green growth, stimulate root development, strengthen your turf's resilience, and encourage healthy and vibrant foliage. With these nutrients, your lawn will have everything it needs to recover from any summer-related stress and enter the winter season in tip-top shape. What's more, your lawn will also be able to store these nutrients for the winter, helping your grass make it through this season and emerge healthy come spring.

Weed control treatments in the fall will keep pesky weeds off your lawn so they don't steal the nutrients for themselves.

Not only are weeds unsightly, but they can also harm your lawn if they manage to steal vital nutrients for themselves. To prevent this from happening, you need to make sure you invest in weed control treatments in the fall. By applying post-emergent weed control treatments to your lawn during the fall season, you will be able to eliminate any existing weeds. By doing so, your lawn will have full access to all of the nutrients made available to it via fertilization treatments, and as an extra bonus, the weeds won't be able to drag down the curb appeal of your property!

Common weeds found in Ohio include chickweed, nutsedge, dandelions, clover, and more!

Apply Weed Control & Fertilization Treatments Once in Early Fall & Again in Late Fall

To maximize the benefits of fertilizer and weed control treatments, you should apply them twice in the fall: once in early fall and again in late fall. Applying these treatments once in early fall will give your lawn a boost of nutrients as it recovers from summer stress while keeping it weed-free. Then, applying them again in late fall will help maintain weed-free conditions and give your lawn all of the nutrients it needs to make it through the winter season.
