Shorter days and cooler temperatures signal the need for more than routine lawn care to keep your grass healthy. Early fall is the ideal time for fertilization, supplying essential nutrients that help turf recover from summer stress while preparing for the demands of winter. At Brockman Tree & Lawn Care in Fairport, New York, we provide homeowners with expertly timed fertilization to promote stronger, longer-lasting results.

Why Fertilizing in Fall Is Essential

Cool-season grasses common in Upstate New York respond especially well to late-season feeding. Applying fertilizer in September or October provides several benefits:

• Stronger root growth: Fall fertilization helps rebuild root systems after summer heat, improving nutrient and water absorption.

• Nutrient replenishment: Soil nutrients are often depleted during summer. Fertilizer restores what’s missing, so your grass isn’t left vulnerable before winter.

• Improved winter hardiness: A nourished lawn is better able to resist cold damage, disease, and snow mold.

• Head start in spring: Lawns fertilized in fall typically green up earlier and grow thicker when warm weather returns.

By focusing on root development now, your lawn will be more resilient and attractive once spring arrives.
