Our lawns don't have the luxury of coasting here in Colorado. Between the high altitude, clay-heavy soil, swings from 70 degrees to snow in the same week, and the watering restrictions, the Front Range keeps tightening every year. Colorado grass is under stress pretty much all the time. Fertilizer isn't a "nice to have." It's the fuel your lawn burns to recover from winter, push out deep roots before the heat hits, and crowd out weeds before they get a foothold.
Colorado's snowpack is sitting at historic lows. The South Platte Basin is at just 42% of normal, and on March 25, Denver Water declared its first Stage 1 drought since 2013. Across the Front Range, mandatory watering restrictions are rolling out earlier and are stricter than most of us have seen in over two decades.
