Why Fall is the Best Time for Fertilizer

Fall is the ideal season to give your lawn the nourishment it needs to stay healthy, green, and resilient. At Back to Nature, we design customized fertilization programs tailored for Michigan lawns—with traditional and organic options that support long-term health without harsh chemicals 

Cooler Temperatures and Less Stress

During fall, cooler air and soil temperatures reduce stress on grass. Your lawn uses this time to focus its energy on root growth instead of dealing with heat and drought. Fertilizer applied now supports stronger roots that absorb water and nutrients better. 

Fall Fertilizer Feeds Roots, Not Just Blades

Fertilizing in late fall helps grass push nutrients deep into the root zone where they stay safe over winter. Come spring, your lawn bounces back faster with lush, dense growth thanks to that well-established root system. 

Well maintained lawn

Builds Resistance for Spring

A lawn fed in fall is better equipped to resist winter damage and spring weeds, disease, and drought. Your lawn will be thicker, greener, and more vigorous when the next season arrives. 

Why Fall Fertilizer Works So Well

  • Supports deep root development 
  • Prepares lawns for winter stresses 
  • Promotes lush spring growth 
  • Uses eco-friendly fertilizers safe for pets, kids, and the environment
