Summer Lawn Fertilizer

About

Why Use Summer Lawn Fertilizer? Summer can be tough on grass due to heat, drought, and high foot traffic. Fertilizing during this season provides essential nutrients to keep your lawn green, growing, and resilient. Summer fertilizers are designed to strengthen the root system, protect against stress, and maintain vibrant color. Types of Fertilizer for Grass in Summer High-Nitrogen Fertilizers : Perfect for warm-season grasses like Bermuda, Zoysia, and St. Augustine that thrive during summer. Use options like our 20-0-10 Almighty for optimal growth and greening. Low-Nitrogen Fertilizers : Ideal for cool-season grasses like Tall Fescue and Kentucky Bluegrass to prevent stress during the heat. We recommend Emerald 10-0-20 for these lawns. Nitrogen-Free Fertilizers : Essential for nitrogen blackout areas or grass types like Centipede that require less nitrogen. Try 0-0-4 Nutrigreen with added micronutrients to maintain healthy turf. Organic Fertilizer: For those seeking natural lawn care, our 5-3-0 fertilizer is made entirely of biosolids. It’s a sustainable, nutrient-rich option that can also be applied alongside other fertilizers to significantly enhance greening and boost overall lawn health.
