As winter transitions into spring here in Tennessee, it symbolizes the beginning of a new growing season for your lawn - and the perfect time to fertilize! You'll want to fertilize your grass twice during the spring, with the first application occurring in the early part of the season to help it emerge from winter dormancy and bounce back quicker by promoting new growth and its vibrant green color. The second treatment should be applied in late spring to replenish its nutrient supply and build up its strength in preparation for the hot summer months ahead, which can otherwise take a toll on it. If you want to get the best results for your lawn, you should hire professionals to fertilize it, as they'll know when to do so in the spring and apply treatments with the correct amount of each nutrient to ensure it thrives.

Fertilize Your Lawn in the Early Spring to Help It Emerge From Winter Dormancy

The first fertilizer treatment for the spring should be applied in the early part of the season to help your lawn emerge from winter dormancy. Your grass goes dormant during the winter to preserve the nutrients and resources it stored to survive this challenging time, so once spring rolls around, it'll need a pick-me-up. Fortunately, the early spring fertilizer application will provide all the nourishment it needs to bounce back and green up quicker, giving it a jumpstart for new, healthy, vibrant growth!

The three main macronutrients in lawn fertilizers are nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

Fertilize Your Lawn Again in Late Spring to Prepare It for the Summer Season

While the early spring fertilizer treatment will help revitalize your lawn after the winter, it's not enough to carry it through until summer. Because of this, you'll want to fertilize it again in late spring! The late spring application will replenish its nutrient supply, as it'll likely have used most from the previous treatment to wake up after being dormant. It'll also build up its health and strength in preparation for the summer months, which can otherwise take a toll on it due to the hot temperatures. When it goes into this taxing season in good shape, it'll have an easier time enduring the stress and staying as healthy as possible.

Hire pros to fertilize your lawn in the spring to ensure it's done right!

While fertilizing your lawn may sound straightforward, there's more to it than you think.

Professionals have the knowledge and expertise to do it right, plus they'll come equipped with high-quality products to supply it with the nutrients it needs.
