Providing your lawn with essential nutrients through fertilizer treatments is what helps your grass grow to its fullest potential. Most people think of spring and summer as the main seasons when you should be fertilizing your lawn. However, a fertilizer treatment in late fall should never be overlooked. Late fall fertilizer treatments are often referred to as "winterizer" treatments because they prepare your grass for the cold weather ahead that we experience here in Indiana. Lawn winterizer treatments help strengthen the roots of your grass while providing them with essential nutrients that can be stored and used as soon as the weather warms back up in the spring. The benefits that a winterizer treatment can provide for your grass are unmatched; this treatment leaves you with a much greener and healthier lawn come springtime!

What is a lawn winterizer treatment?

A winterizer treatment is used to help your grass develop a deeper and stronger root system and store important nutrients in order for your lawn to prepare for the winter season. How does it do that? Winter fertilizers have a large amount of nitrogen in them. Nitrogen is considered the most important nutrient when it comes to plant growth, and it is responsible for keeping your grass nice and green.

Winter is a challenging season for your lawn, so it is crucial your grass receives the essential nutrients it needs to prepare.

interizer should always be applied in the late fall when your grass has stopped actively growing and before the snow falls.

What can a winterizer treatment do for your lawn?

When an abundance of nutrients is added to your lawn, your grass will use what it needs at the moment and then store the rest. When the weather gets cold, the roots of your grass will freeze, but it will still be able to successfully store nutrients throughout the winter season. When spring rolls around, it will soon be time to mow your lawn for the first time that year. That first mow of the season will release the stored nutrients, allowing your grass to take advantage of nutrients it wouldn't have had if you didn't apply a winterizer treatment. Having these nutrients, especially the abundance of nitrogen, will encourage your grass to green up much faster than any lawn without the advantage of a winterizer.

Winterizer treatments can help you save time and money in the spring.

When winter is over, your lawn usually needs a lot of work to regain its strength and attractiveness. Winterizer treatments that were applied in the fall will help with this process and make your life much easier once spring arrives. Because of the abundance of nutrients applied right before winter and then released right after winter, your grass is equipped with what it needs to fight off typical cold-weather stressors such as snow mold. By reducing the chances of your lawn becoming victim of issues like turf diseases, you'll be able to spend less time and money nursing your lawn back to health after the winter season.
