No Lawn Fertilizer after Dec 1st please
Posted on: November 20, 2023 - 4:00pm
Reminder: Cutoff Date for Fertilizing Lawns is December 1st
If you plan to fertilize your lawn this fall,
remember that it is against New York State law
to fertilize lawns between December 1 and April 1.
Please choose a lawn fertilizer with no phosphorus.
Lawn fertilizer can have unnecessary phosphorus
that runs into waterbodies.
Excess phosphorus in freshwater lakes and ponds
can cause algae overgrowth, with serious impacts
to the environment and public health.
