Late Summer Weed Control and Fertilization

By August, your lawn may be showing signs of stress from heat, foot traffic, and drought conditions. This month is a crucial time to provide your turf with restorative treatments that boost health and appearance. Late summer weed control targets broadleaf weeds like clover and spurge that tend to flourish in weakened lawns. These weeds not only disrupt your lawn’s uniformity but also steal valuable nutrients and water from desirable grass varieties. Applying selective herbicides now helps stop them before they spread into the fall.

Alongside weed control, late-summer fertilization is key to replenishing your lawn’s nutrient supply. After months of growth and environmental stress, your grass is likely running low on potassium and nitrogen, both essential for root strength and blade density. Fertilizing now encourages fresh growth and sets the stage for a smoother transition into cooler weather. At EverGreen Lawns, we use seasonal blends designed for late summer application, carefully formulated to strengthen your turf without causing burn during hot days.

Addressing weeds and nutrient needs now gives your lawn a second wind before fall arrives. With consistent care and professional products, even the most tired lawns can bounce back quickly. If you’ve noticed patchiness, discoloration, or increased weed activity, don’t wait. Contact EverGreen Lawns to schedule a targeted August lawn treatment and enjoy a greener, stronger yard well into the fall months.
