If you're a property owner in Colorado, then you should absolutely be fertilizing your lawn in the fall! Fall fertilization is an important service that will help your lawn recover from summer-related stress, prepare it for winter dormancy, and promote root growth so that it can develop a deep, robust root system. This strong foundation will allow your lawn to green up quicker and emerge healthier in the spring. Continue reading to learn more about why you should fertilize your lawn in the fall.

A fall fertilizer treatment will help your lawn recover from summer-related stress.

Summer is stressful for most lawns because of the heat, drought, and foot traffic they endure throughout the season. Because of this, your grass may be looking a little worse for wear come fall. Fortunately, a fall fertilizer treatment can help your lawn recover from any damage that was caused during the summer. That's because fertilizer contains key nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are crucial to helping your grass bounce back after being weakened during the hot summer months.

Fertilizers contain micronutrients such as iron, copper, and zinc, which all play a role in strengthening your lawn.

A fall fertilizer treatment will help your lawn prepare for winter dormancy.

Winter is another challenging time for your lawn due to the cold temperatures. Therefore, it's important to give your grass a boost before entering winter dormancy. A fall fertilizer treatment will help your lawn build up its strength and health so that it can enter winter dormancy in tip-top condition.

A fall fertilizer treatment will help your lawn develop a deep, robust root system.

Your lawn needs a strong root system to not only withstand the harsh winter weather but also to bounce back quickly in spring. So, it's best to start developing this deep, robust root system now through a fall fertilizer treatment. Fertilizer treatments provide your lawn with the nutrients it needs to strengthen these roots, allowing them to absorb more water and utilize other resources. This will make your lawn more resistant to diseases and insect infestations while giving it the ability to store more nutrients. When your roots can store more nutrients, your grass will be able to feed off of them longer, which can help your lawn make it through the winter season!

Fall fertilization will help your lawn green up quicker in the spring.

Spring is a time of renewal for your lawn, and a fall fertilizer treatment will help speed up the process! When your grass receives a nutrient-packed fertilizer treatment in the fall, it will have everything it needs to green up quicker in the spring. Not only that, but a fall fertilizer treatment will give your lawn a jumpstart on growing thicker, denser grass blades. These grasses will look greener and fuller, making your lawn look beautiful and lush in no time!
