Repair and thicken up in the fall after going through the stresses of summer

Having your lawn fertilized in the fall can actually help encourage a healthy spring lawn in the upcoming year. Our lawns are in constant need of care even when they are dormant. Fertilizing in fall will provide nutrients to the grass over the wintertime. These nutrients activate immediately in the spring helping the lawn grow quickly out of dormancy.
