Late Summer/Fall: Apply fertilizer in late summer or early fall to prepare the lawn for the winter months. This helps build strong roots and promotes resilience.

2. Soil Testing:

Slow-release or granular fertilizers provide long-lasting nourishment, reducing the risk of overfeeding and environmental harm.

Organic fertilizers, like compost or well-rotted manure, can enrich the soil and improve its structure.
