The Best (and Worst) Times to Fertilize Your Lawn in Michigan

By Ley’s Lawn Care | Feeding Lawns Right in Southeast Michigan

? Best Times to Fertilize:

  • Early Spring (April): Boosts early growth
  • Late Spring (May/June): Builds strength
  • Fall (Sept/Oct): Critical for root development

? Worst Times:

  • Mid-summer droughts: Can burn grass
  • Frozen winter soil: Waste of product

✅ Pro Tip:

Use a slow-release fertilizer and always water it in. Ley’s uses professional-grade blends tailored to Michigan soils.
