Cold snaps are coming—give your turf what it needs now to bounce back lush and green in spring. Whitehead’s Landscaping offers pre-winter fertilizer applications that feed roots while growth slows, setting up a faster green-up and thicker turf once the weather warms. whiteheadlandscaping.com

Why Fertilize in Late Fall?

Even when your lawn stops growing up top, roots are still active underground. A late-fall application lets grass store nutrients over winter, improving root density, spring color, and overall vigor. In other words: feed now, flourish later. whiteheadlandscaping.com

An Organic-Forward Approach

Whitehead’s maintains lawns with their own organic compost and fertilizer—a true organic lawn-care option in the Wood River Valley. That soil-first mindset supports water retention, aeration, and long-term plant health for resilient turf through freeze–thaw cycles. whiteheadlandscaping.com+1

Power Pairing: Aeration + Fertilizer

For compacted or high-traffic areas, combine your pre-winter feeding with fall core aeration and (where needed) overseeding. Aeration opens the soil so water and nutrients reach the root zone more effectively, boosting the impact of your late-season application. whiteheadlandscaping.com

Smart Watering, Then Winterize

After your application, water in as conditions allow, then button things up for the season. Whitehead’s Eco Irrigation designs and maintains efficient systems that support healthy turf while conserving water—so next spring’s start-up is seamless. whiteheadlandscaping.com
