Time It Right Fertilize when your lawn needs it most: Early Spring: Wake up your lawn and push early growth.
Early Fall: Strengthen roots before winter. Avoid fertilizing in the heat of summer — it can stress your grass. Use the Right Product Pick a slow-release, nitrogen-heavy fertilizer for healthy, even growth. Read the bag — more isn’t always better. Overdoing it burns your lawn and wastes money. Water Wisely Water after fertilizing — but not too much.
Aim for about 1 inch of water per week total during the season. Deep, infrequent watering is better than daily sprinkles. Control Weeds Too Toss in pre-emergent weed control in spring to block crabgrass and other nuisances before they sprout. Weed-and-feed combos work, but read the label for your grass type. Do It the Ley Way DIY can work — but if you want it done right, call the pros.
