Fall is one of the best times to reset the lawn after a long summer. Cooler temperatures, improved moisture, and reduced heat stress create ideal conditions for strengthening turf, cleaning up problem weeds, and getting the lawn ready for winter dormancy. Whether you are planning to overseed or simply want a healthier lawn before cold weather arrives, the right fall program can make a noticeable difference.
Clean Up Broadleaf Weeds Before Overseeding
Before new grass seed goes down, it is important to reduce competition from unwanted broadleaf weeds. Gordon’s Trimec Lawn Weed Killer is a trusted fall cleanup option for established lawns, helping control listed broadleaf weeds such as dandelion, clover, plantain, chickweed, and many others without harming most lawn grasses when used as directed.
If you are planning a fall overseeding project, timing matters. Apply Trimec Lawn Weed Killer first to clean up existing weeds, then wait 3–4 weeks after application before overseeding. This gives Trimec Lawn Weed Killer time to work while helping protect the success of new seed establishment.
Feed Your Lawn with Easy Liquid Nutrition
After overseeding—or anytime the goal is to prepare established turf for winter—Gordon’s Liquid Lawn & Pasture Fertilizer 20-0-0 with Micronutrients delivers nitrogen plus key micronutrients in an easy liquid formulation. Applied in the fall, it supports visible growth and green-up while helping lawns store the nutrients they need going into cooler weather.
Its concentrated liquid formulation makes application straightforward, giving you a convenient way to strengthen lawns and pastures after summer stress and before winter sets in.
Choose One-Step Weed Control and Feeding
For an easier all-in-one fall application, Gordon’s Liquid Weed & Feed 15-0-0 combines broadleaf weed control with nitrogen fertility. It kills listed broadleaf weeds while strengthening the turf, making it a convenient option for established lawns that need both cleanup and fall feeding in one pass.
As with Trimec Lawn Weed Killer, overseeding should be delayed 3–4 weeks following an application of Liquid Weed & Feed 15-0-0. If overseeding is the priority, plan weed control first, allow the proper waiting period, then seed when conditions are right.
