HOWELL, Mich. - eTradeWire -- Why is it important to fertilize in the summer if you already fertilized in the spring?

What's the difference between regular weed control and spot weed control?

As summer settles in and temperatures rise, June presents a key opportunity to give your lawn the boost it needs to stay lush, green, and weed-free. Early summer fertilization combined with targeted spot weed control helps maintain a healthy, vibrant lawn through the stress of summer heat and increased foot traffic.

Why Fertilize in Early Summer?

By June, your lawn has already used up much of the spring fertilizer you applied (whether you fertilized yourself or had Ever So Green apply it for you). Here are the benefits of early summer fertilization:

Strengthens Root System. Fertilizing at this time promotes root development to help your grass withstand heat and occasional drought.

Boosts Green Color. Summer fertilizer enhances the lawn's vibrant green appearance just in time for summer gatherings.

Maintains Density. Applying early summer fertilizer encourages thick, even growth that naturally crowds out weeds.

For best results, use a slow-release nitrogen fertilizer formulated for summer use. This provides steady nutrition over time without forcing excessive top growth, which can stress the lawn during hot weather. Of course, it's always easier to have Ever So Green perform a soil test for your lawn to determine what nutrients it needs the most!
