When most people think about fertilizing, they picture spring. Flowers, green grass, new growth, it just feels like the right time. But here’s the insider tip: in Marin and Sonoma, fall is actually the best season to fertilize your landscape for spring growth.
At Landesign, we’ve been doing HOA landscape maintenance Marin County and across the North Bay for more than 30 years, and we’ve seen the difference first-hand. A well-timed fall fertilization doesn’t just perk things up for the season, it sets your property up for success come spring.
Why Fertilizing in Fall Works Better
Instead of pushing out new leaves or flowers, fall is the time when plants are busy building strong root systems underground. That’s why fertilizing in fall makes so much sense, it feeds the roots exactly when they’re working hardest.
Here in Marin and Sonoma, where summers are hot and soils can be tough, that extra nutrient boost in fall helps lawns and plants bounce back and get ready for winter. By the time spring rolls around, your landscape will already have a head start.
What Your Landscape Needs Right Now
So, what actually goes into fall fertilization? Think of it as giving your plants a balanced meal before winter. The essentials usually include:
- Nitrogen to keep turf green and roots strong.
- Phosphorus for better root growth.
- Potassium to toughen plants up against disease and cold weather.
- Micronutrients like iron and magnesium for that deep, healthy color.
At Landesign, we don’t just toss down fertilizer and call it a day. We make sure every application is doing real work for your landscape.
