Should I Fertilize My Lawn in Fall?

There’s nothing better than have thick and lush green grass, right? When grass is healthy, it feels nice on our feet as we walk through our yard, but healthy grass does so much more than just feel good beneath our feet and look nice for our neighbors. Did you know that your lawn helps to improve air quality? Believe it or not, healthy grass can help to reduce heat by 20-30-degrees and it actually helps to generate oxygen. Sesmas Tree Service wants you to know that it’s extremely important to take good care of your lawn, starting with fertilizing it.

 Should I Fertilize My Lawn in Fall?

One of the most effective ways to get your lawn healthy and keep it healthy is by properly fertilizing your lawn. Fertilizer helps to keep your grass thick, vibrant, and healthy and the fertilizer goes down to the root. As we head into the fall season, it’s time to break the fertilizer out. Believe it or not, fall is a great time to fertilize your lawn to get it ready for the next summer!

4 Reasons You Should Fertilize Your Lawn in the Fall

1.  Cooler temperatures

The heat you experience in the summer doesn’t just affect you, it affects your lawn. The intense heat of summer can cause your lawn to dry out or burn, which is why the fall months are a great time to fertilize your lawn. The cooler temperatures provide the right setting for your lawn to regain its strength and allow it to better grow grass.

2.  Morning dew

To grow grass that is thick and healthy, you need water and lots of it. The morning dew we see in fall is perfect for naturally watering your fertilized lawn. While you should always provide your fertilized lawn with plenty of water, the morning dew gives it some extra water that it’s sure to soak up.

3.  Build stamina

Customer Reviews

3 large Leyland Cypress trees removed near front of our home. Excellent service, professional crew, very competitive pricing for superior work! Rolando provided the initial estimate and the  follow up and was the best in terms of customer relations. I'd both use this company again AND highly recommend them.

Susan Hitchcock

This is the 2nd time we have used Sesmas Tree Service. They are a wonderful company to deal with. They were on time, professional, and very thorough. They cleaned up prior to leaving and went out of their way to protect our plants and landscaping. And they kept to their proposal with no hidden cost or add ons. Definitely a five star experience!

Gene McFadden

Wow!  I deal with tree services in my professional work and I can honestly say Sesmas is by far the most professional, best equipped, efficient, safety conscious, and communicative service I've ever encountered.  Their price was very reasonable and they even went so far as to include additional work without increasing the price.  Call them!  Now! They are very quick to respond.

Scott McLendon

We've used Sesmas several times and have always received excellent service.  Estimates are quick and easy and the crew is efficient and leaves the property clean of debris.  Recently we needed a tree removed next to a heavily landscaped area.  Sebastian went over everything with me in detail and listened to my concerns.  The crew did an excellent job in removing the tree with minimal disturbance to the surrounding area.  We are pleased and will consider them again in the future for pruning and tree removal.

Tonia Griswold

Sesmas Tree Service was amazing! I had two dead trees cut and a lot of trees that were already down on my property removed. Sebastian came out and sent the quote in writing within 24 hours. We were in the process of scheduling the service when a slot opened up sooner snd I was able to go ahead and get the work done. Everything was explained ahead of time for what to expect. The crew was very efficient and professional.  All of the work and cleanup was done in one day. I would recommend Sesmas for your tree cutting/cleanup needs.

LaDora Woods

I hired Sesmas to cut down a very tricky tree that was hanging over my house as well as a few large limbs. They did a great job and had the machinery to get the job done right.

Perry Hartman

Great experience with Sesmas. They were meticulous with my tree removal, safe and efficient. David’s communication throughout the process was much appreciated. Highly recommend!

Lindsay Ellenburg

Great experience with Sesmas Tree Service. The arborist who came out was a Board Certified Master Arborist, and you could immediately tell he knew his stuff. He took the time to explain what needed to be done, gave us clear options, and helped us feel confident from start to finish. The whole process was easy and professional. We’ll definitely use them again.

Ed Martin

When you put down fertilizer in the fall, it has a much better chance to build stamina. Why is that? That’s because when it gets colder out, you may not spend as much time outside running around on your lawn – meaning your grass can start to grow and build up stamina.

4.  Root growth

Since your fertilizer won’t get dried out from hot temperatures and the cooler temperatures will help to allow your fertilizer to soak into the roots, those roots will be able to grow much easier and much faster. Supporting root growth in the fall seasons allows you to grow healthier, greener grass for the spring and summer months.
