Mid October Lawn Care

Fall is the ideal season for many things, such as pumpkin carving and playing in piles of leaves. It is also the best time to newly seed or over-seed a lawn. Fall lawn care practices are essential for lawns to be able to withstand the winter period of dormancy and frost. By taking the time to care for your lawn this fall, you’ll prime it to grow greener and healthier next spring! Time is of the essence when it comes to fall lawn care. In mid-October, apply Jonathan Green Winter Survival Fall Lawn Fertilizer for established lawns or Black Beauty Fall Magic Grass Seed for new lawns or over-seeding.

This timing is ideal because the soil is warm enough for root growth, while the air is cooler, and this application helps the grass recover from summer stress and prepares it for winter.

Black Beauty® Fall Magic Grass Seed, a mixture specially formulated with turf-grasses that grow exceptionally well in the fall, including tall fescue, perennial ryegrass, chewings fescue, and creeping red fescue. This mixture has an excellent ability to repair damage from summer weather and insects. It grows a beautiful, new lawn that thrives in full sun to partial shade and germinates in just 10 – 14 days and can be used to both plant a new lawn or thicken an existing one.

Jonathan Green Winter Survival Fall Lawn Food is the ideal fall lawn fertilizer to spread any time from early September through mid-November because air temperatures are cooler and the soil is still warm enough for grass roots to grow deep. Winter Survival provides the nutrients to help boost newly seeded lawns as well as help established lawns grow thicker and greener grass with deeper roots. This product helps lawns recover from summer stress, feeds grass for up to three months, and can be applied to any type of lawn grass. If Winter Survival is spread early in the fall, a second application in the beginning of November will safeguard the lawn over the winter resulting in greener grass early next spring.
