How Often Should You Be Fertilizing Your Lawn in Wisconsin? | Pest Badger

No One Does Pest Control Like Pest Badger!

While fertilizing your lawn is essential to its health, fertilizing too much or too little can be a detriment to its growth. So what’s the perfect amount? For our area in Wisconsin, fertilizing twice in the spring will help your lawn recover from dormancy and encourage healthy growth. Another two applications of fertilizer in the summer will carry your grass through the stressful summer heat and ensure that it has all the tools it needs to thrive despite the hot temperatures. Finally, in the fall, fertilize once to give your lawn an extra boost of nutrients before it enters dormancy so that it has plentiful resources to rely on!

Two fertilizer applications in spring will help your lawn recover from dormancy and jumpstart its growth.

Our lawns are generally home to cool-season grasses, so that means the warmer – but still cool – temperatures of the spring will be a prime time for growth. Two fertilization treatments are ideal over the course of spring, one being in early-to-mid spring and the second occurring in late spring. After winter dormancy, your lawn will be trying to green up and grow. Spring fertilizer will jumpstart this process, equipping your lawn with the resources it needs to refill its nutrient stores. With a leg up on recovering from dormancy from the first fertilization treatment, your lawn will be able to allocate the resources of the second application to fuel its growth and prevent stagnation.

Strong weed control efforts in spring will make fertilizer treatments that much more effective!

To bolster your lawn against the heat, fertilize another two times in summer.

Come summer, your lawn will be fighting the heat and biding its time until cooler days. Another two applications of fertilizer in the summer will help bolster the health of your grass, giving it the tools it needs to remain strong in the face of the heat. This support will also ensure that your lawn does not enter a second dormancy, which can happen with cool-season grasses that become too stressed over summer!

One final fertilization treatment in the fall will help prepare your lawn for the coming winter dormancy.

Having survived summer, your lawn will be rejoicing at the cooler temperatures, but it’s not quite out of the woods yet. It’s time to prepare for winter dormancy! One more fertilization treatment in the fall will replenish the nutrients lost over summer and give your lawn a boost, providing the plentiful resources it needs to feed on over winter dormancy. Proper preparation in fall will not only ensure that your grass has a smooth ride throughout winter, but put it in a better position to emerge from dormancy in the spring in peak condition.

Fall is a great time to consider scheduling core aeration and overseeding services.
