Prepare Your Lawn for Late Summer and Fall

To do

  1. Apply Neosol 25-0-3 fertilizer.
  2. Treat weeds.
  3. Keep the lawn at 4 inches.
  4. Repair and thicken the lawn.

1. Apply Neosol 25-0-3 fertilizer

Our fertilizer strengthens and nourishes your lawn, making it more resistant to diseases and weeds.

Expert advice:

  • Apply fertilizer evenly, regardless of rain or time of day.

2. Treat weeds

By eliminating competition, it allows your lawn to grow more vigorously.

Expert advice

  • Apply when the outside temperature is below 30 degrees Celsius felt.
  • There should be no watering or rain for 12 hours after applying the product.
  • Apply the herbicide again, 72 hours after the first use if you see that the results are not to your liking in the targeted areas. Do not make more than 2 applications in the month.

3. Repair damaged areas with potting soil and seed

Provides a dense, uniform lawn, reducing spaces for weeds to grow.

Expert advice:

  • Remove weeds before applying potting soil to aid the growth of new seed.
  • Make sure to sow your new lawn 4 days after treating the weeds and not before.

4. Keep the lawn at 4 inches

Mowing to 4 inches helps maintain moisture, repel insect pests and reduce weeds on your property.

Expert advice

  • Avoid mowing your lawn during hot weather (30 degrees Celsius and above). Mowing a lawn during hot weather only damages it.

As needed

1. Irrigate your lawn

This helps the lawn stay healthy during a prolonged drought.

Expert advice

  • Make sure to always respect the regulations of your municipality.
  • Water the lawn only if it receives less than 1 inch of water in a week.
  • Water early in the morning or late in the evening to reduce evaporation.
  • Adjust according to the weather; if rain is forecast, you can delay or skip watering.
  • Water only once a week and for 1 hour.

Look out!

Monitoring and treating chinch bugs

If you see yellow spots, water to check if it is due to drought or bugs. Treat with our Safer's insecticide. The insecticide must be applied well to the yellow patches as well as 5-6 feet around the patches. There must be no rain or watering for 24 hours after the insect treatment.
