🌱 The Benefits of Spring Fertilization

How to set your Lawn up for a Strong Season

Spring is one of the most important times of the year for your lawn. As the soil warms up and grass begins to grow again, your lawn wakes from winter dormancy hungry for nutrients. That’s why spring fertilization is a key part of any healthy, long-lasting lawn care plan.


At Hackmann Lawn & Landscape, we help clients across St. Charles and St. Louis counties get the most out of their yards — and that starts with feeding your lawn right from the start.


 Why Fertilizing in the Spring Matters

Here are just a few reasons why spring fertilization gives your lawn a healthy head start:


 1. Jumpstarts Growth After Winter

Winter can take a toll on your turf. Fertilizing in early spring replenishes essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium that were depleted over the cold months — helping your lawn green up faster and grow stronger.



 2. Builds a Healthier Root System

A well-timed spring fertilizer treatment supports root development, which is critical for drought resistance and long-term lawn health. Strong roots help your grass absorb water and nutrients more effectively throughout the growing season.


 3. Improves Weed Resistance

A thick, well-fed lawn makes it harder for weeds to take hold. Spring fertilization boosts turf density, making your yard more resilient and reducing the need for harsh chemical treatments later.


 4. Enhances Color and Appearance

Who doesn’t want that lush, vibrant green lawn? Balanced spring fertilization gives your grass the nutrients it needs for rich color and fast recovery from patchiness caused by snow, salt, or foot traffic.


 5. Sets the Tone for the Entire Season

Think of spring fertilization as the foundation for a successful season. With the right product and timing, you’re not just feeding your grass — you’re setting up consistent growth, fewer problems, and less stress all summer long.


 Pro Tip: Timing Is Everything

For most lawns in Missouri, the best time to apply spring fertilizer is mid to late spring — after the grass has started actively growing but before summer heat arrives. The exact timing can depend on your turf type and local weather patterns.
