If you’re looking to keep your St. Augustine lawn looking its best this fall in North Texas, you’ve come to the right place. Here at Village Green, we’re all about sharing tips and tricks to help you nurture a healthy, vibrant lawn through every season. Let’s dive into some pointers on fertilization and care for this time of year.
Shifting Gears for Fall Fertilization
With the cooler temperatures rolling in, it’s time to switch up your lawn care routine. St. Augustine grass needs a little TLC during the fall, and that means rethinking how we fertilize it. You might be tempted to reach for those high nitrogen fertilizers, but hold up! In the fall, these can do more harm than good by promoting too much top growth, which opens the door for brown patch disease to crash the party.
Why High Nitrogen is a No-Go
Picture this: using high nitrogen fertilizer in the fall is like tossing gasoline on a fire when it comes to brown patch disease. Yikes, right? Instead, let’s focus on slow-release, balanced fertilizers. These bad boys help your grass develop strong roots without going overboard on the top growth. Strong roots mean a happy lawn that can handle whatever Mother Nature throws its way.
Root Growth and Weeds: The Dynamic Duo
Fall is all about encouraging those roots to dig in and get comfy. Slow-release fertilizers are your best friends here. And while we’re at it, let’s not forget about those pesky weeds like spurge and nutsedge. Spot-treating them keeps your lawn looking sharp and ensures your grass gets all the goodies it needs without any competition.
Timing is Everything
Save the heavy-duty, high nitrogen feeding for spring when your St. Augustine grass is raring to grow. This way, you’re working with the grass’s natural cycle, giving it exactly what it needs when it needs it. It’s all about timing, folks!
