September Newsletter: Should You Fertilize in September
Feed Your Landscape Before Winter Sets In
As the weather cools, your lawn and plants start slowing down—but that doesn’t mean it’s time to ignore them. A light fall feeding gives your landscape the nutrients it needs to stay healthy through winter and come back strong in spring.
- Lawns: Apply a slow-release fertilizer to strengthen the root system and help your grass handle colder weather.
- Shrubs & Trees: Feed hollies, camellias, and ligustrum to maintain color and vigor through the cooler months.
- Perennials: A light feeding now helps roots store up energy for next year’s growth.
- Skip: Dormant plants or annuals that are fading out—they’re finished for the season.
Think of it as charging your landscape’s battery before winter hits.
