Texas Lawn Fertilization Schedule
Follow the correct fertilization schedule to keep your Texas lawn strong and healthy throughout the year. Six strategic applications across spring, summer, and fall will promote growth, sustain your lawn through intense heat, and prepare it for winter.
Fertilize Your Lawn Twice in Spring to Promote New Growth
The spring season is a time for growth, and your lawn is no different. As your lawn gets ready to start growing again after the winter season has passed, you'll want to provide it with the nutrients it needs to start the growing season on the right foot.
Mid-Spring Application
Mid-March – Mid-May A fertilizer application in mid-spring will promote new grass growth as your lawn gradually emerges from winter dormancy. This encourages a dense, vibrant lawn sooner in the growing season.
Late-Spring Application
Mid-May – Late June A fertilizer application in late spring will help prepare your lawn for the upcoming summer. If your lawn enters summer with a sufficient nutrient supply, it's more likely to not only get through the summer but thrive during it.
Apply Two Fertilizer Applications in Summer to Replenish Nutrients
Summer will bring extended periods of hot, dry weather, which will force your lawn to absorb nutrients quickly. To keep up with the demand for nutrients, you should fertilize your lawn twice in the summer.
Early Summer Application
Late June – August A fertilizer application in early summer will replenish any nutrients absorbed in the spring and ensure your lawn has enough nutrients going into the height of summer.
Late Summer Application
August – Mid-September Due to the intensity of summer, nutrients get absorbed quickly and must be replenished. This application will help carry your lawn through the end of the hottest season.
Two Fall Applications Help Your Lawn Recover and Prepare for Winter
To help your lawn recover from the summer with ease and go into winter better prepared, you should apply fertilizer twice in the fall.
Early Fall Application
Mid-September – Late October A fertilizer application in early fall will replenish your lawn's nutrient supply depleted by summer and help it recover from the season's stress.
Late Fall Application
Late October – December Fertilizing in late fall provides the nutrients your lawn needs to make it through winter and emerge in good condition in the spring — encouraging a quicker transition to green!
