Don't Miss Mid-Summer Lawn Fertilization

You may be wondering: if you fertilized in the spring, why is it important to fertilize in the summer?

While spring and fall often take the spotlight, mid summer fertilization plays an important role in sustaining lawn health through the hottest days of the season. At Ever So Green, we emphasize not just hydration, but balanced nutrition.

Here’s how a smart mid summer boost helps your lawn:

1. Replenishes Nutrients Depleted by Heat

Intense summer heat depletes soil nitrogen, potassium, and other essential nutrients. Mid summer feeding restores this balance, helping grass stay lush and vibrant.

2. Enhances Drought Resilience & Root Depth

Fertilization encourages deeper root development, allowing grass to tap moisture resources during dry spells. Slow release formulas also stabilize soil and promote moisture retention.

3. Helps Maintain Aesthetic Appeal

Without a mid summer feeding, lawns can become patchy, thin, or brown. Re supplying nutrients keeps turf full-bodied and photo ready, even under the hot sun.

4. Supports Ongoing Recovery

Summer fertilizer keeps grass in recovery mode, prepping it for rejuvenation in fall. A well-nourished lawn enters winter smoothly and bounces back quickly in the spring.

Mid Summer Fertilizer Strategy & Best Practices

• Timing is Key. Apply fertilizer roughly 6–8 weeks after the late-spring feeding, typically July or August.
• Water Wisely. Follow up fertilizer with deep irrigation — aim to moisten the soil 4–6″ deep. Our lawn techs advise light, frequent watering to accompany your nutrient program.
• Consider Disease and Weed Control. Mid summer is also a time when weeds and fungus may spike. Consider using Ever So Green’s weed control services at the same time.
