Fall Fortify Pack Application Guide

The Fall Fortify Pack is a one-time, two-product application designed to give your lawn the final push it needs before winter. It pairs Green Machine, a natural fertilizer that delivers essential nutrients for late-season growth, with Lime Boost, which helps correct acidic soil conditions and improves nutrient uptake.

Together, these two products work to build a stronger root system, improve soil pH, and increase your lawn’s resilience to cold weather and stress—so it wakes up greener and healthier in the spring.

When to Apply Fall Fortify Pack:

Apply products in mid-fall, 1 to 2 weeks apart. If you are overseeding, Fall Fortify Pack can be used either before or after you seed.

Green Machine should be your first application, followed by Lime Boost. Apply products in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid heat stress. 

The Fall Fortify Pack can be deployed monthly during the fall to provide extra nutrients for your lawn.

How to Apply Fall Fortify Pack:

  1. Open the cap to your bottle and insert the hose-end applicator (included) with straw end down. Screw the applicator on tightly.

  2. Connect the other end of the applicator to your garden hose.

  3. Turn the plastic dial at the top of the applicator to “On.” 

  4. Turn on the hose. Walk across the lawn and spray the product on evenly. 

  5. If you have extra product once you cover your lawn, go back for a second pass. Each bottle should cover approximately 3,000 square feet. 

  6. Hold off on watering for 4-6 hours after application.

Fall Fortify Pack Tips:

  • Fall Fortify is designed to give your lawn a final boost for the growing season and prepare it for dormancy. Green Machine contains nitrogen for a late-season green-up and root energy.

  • Lime Boost is designed to raise your soil pH, a key step to making nutrients more accessible. Learn more about the importance of soil pH here.

Fall Fortify Pack FAQs:

What is the Fall Fortify Pack? How does the Fall Fortify Pack work?

Fall Fortify Pack contains two Lawnbright natural lawn care products: Green Machine, a nitrogen-rich natural fertilizer, and Lime Boost, which helps to naturally boost soil pH. Green Machine delivers essential nutrients for late-season growth. Lime Boost helps to correct acidic soil conditions and improves nutrient updates.

Put together, these two products help to build a stronger roots system and improve soil pH, which improves your lawn’s resilience to cold and stress. This allows it to go into winter dormancy healthier and provides a better chance of returning greener and healthier in the spring.

What size lawn does Fall Fortify Pack cover?

Each pack covers about 3,200 square feet of lawn - about the size of a tennis court. For reference, a 5,500 square foot lawn is about the size of a basketball court. This measurement does not include your house or landscaping features - just determine your lawn size by the amount of turf you are treating.

Is the Fall Fortify Pack safe for my kids and pets?

Yes. All of our products, including our Fall Fortify Pack, are made from natural ingredients and no harsh chemicals. This means that they are safe for your kids and pets, as well as better for the earth and your grass.

How long do I need to wait to let my dog play on the lawn?

You can return to using the lawn once the grass blades are dry. If you watered in the application you can use the lawn immediately. 

Is the Fall Fortify Pack part of my custom lawn plan?

Fall Fortify is an option add-on for custom lawn plan customers, or can be purchased on its own. If you’re a lawn plan customer, you might want to purchase Fall Fortify to provide your lawn with an extra boost prior to winter dormancy.

How would I use Fall Fortify Pack with my custom lawn care plan?

You can apply the nutrients from the Fall Fortify Pack after you apply your fall Lawnbright plan nutrients. Wait 1-2 weeks after your final application from your Lawnbright plan, then begin Fall Fortify applications.

Will I see improvement in my lawn right away?

Most customers notice a difference in their lawn shortly after applying Green Machine. You’ll also notice that your lawn comes back stronger and greener in the spring by applying effective fall nutrients.

I have too much product. Can I save it for later?

Yes. Lawnbright products have a shelf life of 1 year, so you can store products in your garage, shed or basement for next season.

What else can I do for a healthy lawn this fall?

There are many steps you can take for a healthy fall lawn, including weed control, overseeding, dethatching, aerating and more. Fall is the prime growing season for your lawn. You can get our fall lawn care tips here. Here are some of our top tips:

  • If you have a cool season lawn, overseed to help thicken your turf and crowd out weeds. 

  • Dethatch before beginning lawn care. Rake away dead grass, loosen the soil, and water consistently.

  • Consider aerating before you apply a product to help loosen compacted soil. You can do this with a manual aerator, a machine, or with Lawnbright Aeroflow liquid aeration.

  • Be sure to continue watering, about 1 inch of water per week. Use a rain gauge to track rainfall and avoid overwatering, and try to water in the early morning to avoid evaporation and fungal risk.

  • Mulch your leaves back into the lawn instead of bagging or raking them. Shredded leaves help to provide nutrients to the soil.

  • You should keep mowing regularly, at least once per week, keeping height of cut around 3 inches. Wrap up mowing once the leaves stop falling. Eventually you’ll be mowing just to mulch the leaves into the soil, but you should continue this practice to avoid leaves killing your lawn over the winter. 

I’m a beginner. Are the products hard to apply?

Not at all! Lawnbright is designed to be beginner friendly, with no special equipment needed. Simply hook your Lawnbright products up to your hose and spray them on your lawn - that’s it!

How to Store Fall Fortify Pack After Use:

Cap your product tightly and store in a cool, dry place such as the garage, basement or shed. Use products within a year.
