Fall fertilization of cool-season grasses and root growth

Fall fertilization is important for root growth because during the fall months, plants focus on fortifying their root systems! This not only prepares them for the winter months, but more importantly, the next growing season. By applying a complete granular fertilizer in the fall, we’re providing essential nutrients that are absorbed by the roots which will promote healthy growth and development. These nutrients and produced carbohydrates will help the plant withstand winter stress and ensure they emerge strong and vibrant in the spring. Included in our granular fall fertilizer is repurposed coffee grounds, which is an essential food source for the soil microbiome. This active carbon source allows the beneficial fungi and yeast to continue the process of releasing soil-bound elements that are made available for root uptake. The image below shows the growth pattern of cool season grasses. You’ll notice that fall is the prime window and the plant focuses its energy on root growth and building carbohydrate reserves. By applying our proprietary granular fertilizer, we’re ensuring an overall healthy system – plant and soil. We’d love the opportunity to care for your lawn; please give us a call for a free quote!
