BRIGHTON, Mich. - s4story -- Are you unsure what the next step of your summer lawn care should be?

By the time June arrives in Michigan, your lawn has already gone through its spring growth surge. Now, the focus shifts from rapid growth to sustaining health, strengthening roots, and managing stress as temperatures rise.

If May was about getting your lawn started, June is about keeping it strong, green, and weed-free through the summer months.

Fertilization in June

Unlike the aggressive feeding of spring, June fertilization is all about balance and control.

Applying a slow-release fertilizer helps your lawn maintain its color and strength without forcing excessive top growth during hotter weather.

Benefits of June fertilization include:

• Maintaining a healthy green color
• Supporting root strength for summer stress
• Replenishing nutrients depleted from spring growth
• Preparing grass for heat and drought conditions

It's important not to overdo it. Heavy fertilization in June can lead to rapid growth that your lawn may struggle to sustain in rising temperatures.

Broadleaf Weed Control

Even though spring is peak weed season, June is still a critical time to stay on top of broadleaf weeds like dandelions, clover, and plantain.

At this stage, professional lawn care programs often shift to spot treatments rather than blanket applications. This approach:

• Targets visible weeds without stressing healthy grass
• Prevents weeds from spreading and reseeding
• Reduces unnecessary chemical exposure across the lawn

Spot treating is especially important in early summer, as widespread applications in higher temperatures can damage turf if not done carefully.

For best results, treatments should be applied on cooler days and allowed time to absorb before rainfall.
