Year round. There are several types of fertilizer that benefit your lawn at certain times of year. For example, in early April you want to put down a pre-emergent fertilizer with low nitrogen. This will help crabgrass and weeds from taking over your lawn later in the year. Early Summer, you want to put down a fertilizer that is higher in nitrogen, iron and potash. The nitrogen and iron will make the lawn nice and deep green while the potash helps with root development. There are fertilizers for just about every scenario. You simply need to put in the work and do a little research on what you need.
Year round. Most people think that spraying one time in the fall is all you need, when in reality, you should be spraying at least 3 times a year: Mid-May, Late June and Early November.
We have discovered that these three dates are the best times of year to spray. In May and June is typically when broadleaf weeds emerge. Knocking them down twice over a two month span almost solves your problem completely. Then in November when the plant starts to get ready for winter, it will take in as much nutrients as it can before going dormant. Apply that herbicide and the plant will take that in and kill it. You may need to spray more than usual in the fall because most herbicide sprays do not like the cooler temperatures.
