What Exactly is Weed and Feed?
Most people think fertilizing is just about making the lawn greener. But it’s more than that—it’s about balance, timing, and the right process. Weed and Feed is just one important step in a complete lawn care plan.
It does two things:
Targets Weeds
Weeds like dandelions, crabgrass, and clover compete with your grass for nutrients. Our weed control step tackles them at the root, so your lawn stays healthy and strong.
Feeds Your Lawn
But just killing weeds isn’t enough. Your grass needs the right balance of nutrients to grow thicker, greener, and more resilient. That’s why fertilization is part of the process too.
But here’s the key
Weed and Feed is Just One Part of the Process
Weed and Feed isn’t a one-and-done solution. It’s part of a step-by-step lawn care program that includes:
Pre-Emergent Weed Control
Stops weeds before they even have a chance to start.
Selective Weed Removal
Targets existing weeds without harming your grass.
Seasonal Fertilization
Feeds your lawn with the right nutrients at the right time.
Soil Health Management
Ensures your lawn gets everything it needs from the ground up.
Why Fertilizing Matters
A well-fed lawn isn’t just prettier, it’s healthier.
When grass has the right nutrients, it:
🌱 Grows thicker and crowds out weeds naturally
🌞 Handles summer heat better
❄️ Survives winter without turning into a dead patch of brown
The difference between a lawn that gets fertilized properly and one that doesn’t? Night and day.

A Lawn Fertilizer Schedule That Works With Nature
A healthy lawn doesn’t just happen—it’s the result of careful planning and timely fertilization. Applying lawn fertilizer at the right time ensures your grass gets the nutrients it needs to grow strong, resist stress, and stay lush throughout the year. At Switchback Landscaping, we follow a lawn fertilization schedule designed to work in harmony with the seasons. Because when it comes to lawn care, timing makes all the difference.
Spring: The Wake-Up Call 🌱
After months of dormancy, your lawn is waking up and needs a boost of energy to start growing again. This is the best time to fertilize lawn areas that have thinned out over winter. We apply the best lawn fertilizer for spring, packed with nitrogen to promote fresh green growth. Strengthens roots so your grass can compete with weeds and grow thick and full. Kickstarts the season by providing essential nutrients for a strong foundation. Spring fertilization ensures your lawn greens up quickly and is ready to take on the growing season ahead.
Summer: The Stress Test ☀️
Summer brings intense heat, increased foot traffic, and dry conditions—all of which put a lot of stress on your lawn. Without proper care, grass can become thin, weak, and prone to weeds. Our summer lawn fertilizer helps your grass retain moisture and stay green, even in extreme heat. Enhances drought resistance so your lawn can survive longer without rain. Strengthens the blades and roots to withstand heavy use from kids, pets, and outdoor activities. A well-fed lawn is a resilient lawn—capable of holding its color and staying thick and healthy all summer long.
Fall: Building Strength 🍂
Many people stop fertilizing after summer, but fall fertilizer is one of the most important applications of the year. This is when your lawn focuses on root development, preparing to endure the harsh winter months ahead. Fall fertilizer fortifies the roots, helping them grow deep and strong. Feeds the lawn with essential nutrients that carry over into spring, so your grass bounces back even thicker and greener. Prevents winter damage and helps reduce the chances of weeds taking over. A well-fertilized lawn in the fall means less work and fewer weeds when spring rolls around.
Winter: Protection Mode ❄️
Even though your lawn looks dormant, it’s still very much alive beneath the surface. That’s why we apply winter lawn fertilizer—a specialized treatment designed to store nutrients and protect the grass while it rests. Helps grass retain nutrients that keep it from becoming weak or malnourished. Protects against winter stress and frost damage, so your lawn isn’t left patchy and lifeless. Ensures a faster, healthier green-up in the spring. Winter fertilization is the final step in our yearly program, setting your lawn up for success in the following season.
Fertilizing When It Matters Most
We don’t just apply fertilizer randomly—we follow a strategic plan that gives your lawn exactly what it needs, at the right time.
With a seasonal lawn fertilization schedule, your grass will be:
✔ Stronger and healthier year-round
✔ More resistant to drought, disease, and weeds
✔ Thicker, greener, and more enjoyable for your family
