If you want your lawn to thrive, it will need to be fertilized throughout the year so that it always has a sufficient amount of nutrients to feed off of. If you own a property in Delaware, OH, you're likely wondering how many times you need to fertilize your lawn during the year to get the results you're looking for. Well, the simple answer is 6. You should fertilize your lawn twice in the spring, once to help it emerge from winter dormancy and again to prepare it for the summer heat. Then, you should apply 2 more fertilizer treatments over the course of the summer to help your lawn make it through this stressful season. Finally, you should apply one fertilizer treatment in early fall to help your lawn recover from the summer and another towards the end of fall to prepare it for the winter.

When the winter season comes to an end, your lawn could benefit from a boost of nutrients to emerge from winter dormancy and kickstart the growing season. That's why you should fertilize your lawn once in early spring. The nutrients contained in this treatment will strengthen the roots of your grass and help it green up so that it can get back to its beautiful green color. Then, towards the end of the spring season, you should fertilize your grass again. This treatment will resupply your lawn with the nutrients that it will need to endure the heat of the summer.

The three main nutrients contained in most lawn fertilizers are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
