Most people assume that when fall comes, their lawn is preparing for a long winter's nap. After mowing for the last time, you might figure there is nothing more to do. But with the proper steps taken now, your lawn should go into the winter looking great and then come back even stronger and more lush in the spring.
In the fall, your grass may look like it's snoozing but when you "get to the root of things" you'll discover that there is a lot going on beneath the surface. In the fall the roots are preparing a food reserve to last through the winter. If you feed the lawn now, while Mother Nature is turning out all those new roots, then they will have even more root growth. If you follow these steps now, your lawn will stockpile nutrients for a healthier and stronger lawn next year.

Apply the winterizer to the lawn with a rotary spreader. We used the Estate® Broadcast Spreader for it's ease of use. If you have weeds, apply winterizer (with weed killer) onto moist foliage so that the particles stick to the weeds, get absorbed down into the root and kill it, root system and all.
By taking these steps now, your lawn should go into the winter looking great and then come back even stronger and more lush in the spring.
