  • It’s COLD outside! And our Lawns are definitely starting to Feel it!
    In this video, I will how you how to keep your lawn as healthy as possible by preparing it for the winter. This process is known as winterizing your lawn and it only requires a few simple steps. Winterizing your lawn will ensure you have a healthy green lawn come the spring time.
    The 1st step to winterizing your lawn is to fertilize it one last time before the winter. By fertilizing grass in fall, you’re feeding the roots and giving them nutrients to store for winter. Many sources say to apply a heavy fertilizer application of 1 lb of nitrogen per 1ksft at the end of the season but research has shown that nitrogen uptake is much lower at the end of the season. My recommendation is to apply one last light application of FAST RELEASE fertilizer. If you are using a liquid lawn fertilizer i recommend a quarter pound of Nitrogen per thousand sqft and if your using a granular fertilizer i recommend applying between a quarter pound and half pound of nitrogen per thousand sqft OR 1/3 the bag rate.
    The 2nd step to wintering your lawn is to control the broadleaf weeds. When you're getting the lawn ready for the harsh winter weather, you want to control the weeds as much as possible because weeds compete for nutrients with the rest of your lawn. The most common weeds that are attacking our lawns now are broadleaf weeds such as dandelions, thistle and chickweed. Broadleaf weeds are vulnerable right now because they send energy down to roots and applying a herbicide now will kill the crown of the plant reducing the amount of energy that can be stored in the roots over winter.
    The 3rd step to winterizing your lawn is to mow your lawn lower than usual. Mowing your lawn low right before winter will help it healthy throughout the colder months and prevent it from matting down and holding moisture. If you dont keep the lawn short before winter it can develop snow mold.

      Hi Joe, I too live in TX, and have Bermuda, it has taken me 3 season of experimenting and watching this channel and others to get it weed free, GREEN, and short. Not to brag or anything but my goal was to make my lawn the best looking in the block. i have succeeded. I have been thinking about over seeding with Rye-grass but i am afraid it will ruin my Bermuda. When the Winter is over, does the Rye died out on its own? does Bermuda (being an alpha grass) take over the Rye as the weather warms up?

    To winterize my lawn I love blowing and raking leaves. I know it sounds weird but in the fall and winter my neighbors lawns are covered in leaves and my trees are orange and yellow but with no leaves on the grass. It’s a really cool look. Makes me stand out from my neighbors and it only takes a few minutes in the morning and evening. Would love that striping kit.

But ever since watching your videos, I ended up getting an affordable little reel mower and have not even opened the Honda 😂. I get some looks from neighbors and passing cars.

    Before winter hits, I like to aerate the lawn and oversees to strengthen the lawn and fill in any patches.

    I live in NE Ohio so I start with aerating and over seeding using an athletic turf blend of KBG and fescue the first week of September, I put down a starter fertilizer 5 days after over seeding and my lawn came in thick and dark green. The second week of October I put down my winterizer and two weeks later followed up with Milorganite, I'll put down another application of Milorganite after Thanksgiving. Two weeks after over seeding I started cutting every 2-3 days to stimulate turf growth. I also lower my cutting height in October from 3.25" to 2.75" and on my final cut I'll cut at 2.25". I've been doing this for the last few years and my lawn is very green until the snow starts falling and in spring as soon as temps start rising it comes alive and is dark green.

    Very helpful, thank you! This is my first year in lawn care, and I did a lot of, uh, learning this first year. Here in warm season territory, I grew some bare spots in my brand new St. Augustine by using too much fast-acting N in the summer, and tried to fix it by applying... more fast-acting N. And of course, overusing herbicides. Live and learn. Winterizing plan is hand-picking as much as I can so I don't stress my baby out further, some Prodiamine as pre-emergent, and fertilizing with high K to keep the roots strong until I can give it a proper nursing back to health in spring.

    About a month ago I aerated the lawn really well and over seeded, then mother nature took care of the rest. It rained every day for the next 10 days and man is my lawn standing tall right now! Looks like I need to apply a bit of fertilizer and spray some broadleafs and call it a season. Thanks for all the tips and info for a beautiful lawn! And happy early birthday!!🎉🎉🥳

    What I like to do to winterize is apply the heavy granular which was 3 weeks back here in VA and once every other week spoon feed via quick release. I did a entire lawn reno started Aug killed off all grass and in late September apply a great quality seed. So far it’s amazing and I only have a few bare spots due to trees falling and debris being under the soil. I’ll fix that during the spring along with any lingering weeds. Grass is only over a month old and it looks amazing and used some of your tips and tricks thanks so much!

Mowed it high and put down more 13-13-13 along with some granular pre-emergent and Propiconazole . Need another mow to get it down a bit shorter before the cold hits. That stripe kit would be sweet on my recycler. 😎

I am not sure what the builders put in last fall but it didnt really take for anyone in the neighborhood. We have super compacted clay soil so I aerated and rented an overseeder.
      You should do a video about using an overseeder, not many videos on using them that I found helpful. It was a blast to use and I believe it really helped.

    Love your videos. You've helped me a lot in my lawn reno. As for what I do to prepare for winter, in early fall I put down an initial fertilizer and weed control to get my lawn thickened up. Mid fall I put down my pest control and fungicides to keep the lawn healthy. And in late fall I throw down the final treatment of Scotts weed and feed. I find that it is usually enough to get me through the winter and green up in the spring.
