Spring in Columbus, Ohio, means it’s time to revive your lawn after a long winter. Whether you own a home or manage a business, a healthy lawn boosts curb appeal and property value. But Central Ohio’s weather—freezing winters, hot summers, and unpredictable rainfall—can take a toll on grass. That’s why proper fertilization, aeration, and seeding are essential.

At Meyers Landscape, we’ve been helping Columbus homeowners and businesses maintain lush, resilient lawns for years. Our local expertise ensures your property gets the right care at the right time.

Why Fertilization Matters in Central Ohio

Ohio’s soil often lacks key nutrients, leaving lawns weak and prone to:
– Bare patches
– Weed invasions
– Drought stress
– Insect damage

A well-planned fertilization schedule strengthens grass roots, improves color, and helps your lawn survive seasonal extremes.

When Should You Fertilize in Columbus?
– Early Spring (March-April) – Wakes up grass after winter
– Late Spring (May-June) – Prepares for summer heat
– Fall (September-October)

Warning: Fertilizing too late in fall or during summer droughts can harm your lawn.

Aeration & Seeding: The Key to a Thicker Lawn

Even with fertilizer, compacted soil can suffocate grass roots. Core aeration solves this by:
✅ Punching small holes to let air, water, and nutrients penetrate
✅ Reducing thatch buildup
✅ Helping new grass seed take root

For best results, pair aeration with overseeding—especially if your lawn has thin or bare spots. At Meyers Landscape, we use premium grass seed blends suited for Columbus’ climate.

Choosing the Right Fertilizer

Not all fertilizers work the same. Here’s what we recommend:
– Balanced (10-10-10): Good for general maintenance
– High-nitrogen: Best for green, fast growth
– Slow-release: Feeds grass gradually without burning

Pro Tip: Always test your soil first! Too much fertilizer can damage grass, while too little won’t help.
