A lush, full, and deep green lawn is every garden lover’s dream. But did you know that grass, just like you, needs nutrients to grow and stay strong? Without proper nutrition, your lawn loses its strength and color. The result? Yellow patches, bare spots, and a higher risk of disease or fungal infections.
Fortunately, this is easy to prevent with the right fertilization at the right time. In this blog, we’ll explain why fertilizing is so important, when to do it, and how to approach it smartly with MAYA All-In-One.
What Nutrients Does Your Lawn Need?
If your lawn is lacking these essential nutrients, you’ll often notice yellowing or dull patches, thin or bare spots, slow growth, and an increased risk of fungal diseases or lawn pests.
To stay healthy and vibrant, your lawn needs a balanced mix of nutrients, including:
Nitrogen (N) – promotes lush green color and strong growth
Phosphorus (P) – stimulates root development
Potassium (K) – boosts resistance to drought and disease
Sulfur (S) – supports nitrogen absorption and strengthens cell structure
When Should You Fertilize Your Lawn?
To prevent a nutrient deficiency, it’s important to fertilize your lawn three times a year. This can be done in any season except winter. That way, your grass stays healthy, resilient, and vibrant all year round.
1. Spring (March/April): The Growth Kickstart
After winter, your lawn is often weakened by the cold and in need of recovery. A spring fertilization helps your grass regain its strength. It will grow faster, develop a deep green color, and become more resistant to weeds and moss.
2. Summer (July): Support During Stress
In summer, your lawn can suffer from heat and drought. Extra nutrients strengthen its resistance and help keep the grass resilient and green.
Don’t forget to water regularly during dry spells, preferably early in the morning or late in the evening. This allows the water to soak in properly without burning the grass under the hot sun.
3. Fall (September/October): Preparing for Winter
Fall fertilization sets the foundation for a healthy lawn in the following spring. By feeding your lawn now, it builds up reserves for the colder months. The nutrients work slowly and help strengthen the roots, making your lawn more resilient against cold, frost, and fungal diseases.
