Summer Lawn Fertilizer Program

Early Summer Lawn Fertilizer Program

Summers in New England can be brutal on lawns, even if they’re regularly watered. In 2019 we experienced not only the hottest July on record, with average temperatures around 79 degrees, but the hottest month of any year dating back to the first records in 1872! Twenty of the 31 days in July reached 85 degrees or higher with 12 topping 90-plus degrees.

Without a lot of assistance, cool-season turf just isn’t built to withstand that kind of constant, punishing heat for weeks. And while most turf naturally goes dormant in the summer, with the proper care from a lawn maintenance company, you can keep it green and help it springs back in the late summer and fall.

Our summer lawn fertilizer is a slow-release fertilizer that won’t burn or stress turf. It slowly releases only the necessary amount of nutrients for the roots to absorb when needed. Furthermore, we only apply the right amount of nutrients so your yard doesn’t become too lush, which can also damage it.

Our summer lawn fertilizer program is the perfect way to help your turf stay green during a time of year that most grass begins to brown and go dormant. Of course, to keep your lawn thriving all season, it’s important to support this fertilizing with proper watering and mowing.

During the summer we also apply our preventative grub control and treatment service. This pesticide protects your lawn from damaging grubs, which ferociously feed on the roots of your turf.
