Sulfur is a great way to keep your lawn healthy and beautiful. It also helps prevent disease and pests, which makes it an essential tool for any gardener. But as with anything else in life, there are times when you should and shouldn’t use sulfur—and knowing when those times are can help you maximize the benefits of this powerful product. Here’s everything you need to know about the best way to apply sulfur in your yard:
The best time to apply granular sulfur for lawns is in the late fall.
The best time to apply granular sulfur for lawns is in the late fall. This is when your grass is dormant, so it will have less of a chance to absorb the sulfur and more of an opportunity to use it as fertilizer. Sulfur can be applied in the spring and summer, but it will be less effective because there are fewer nutrients available then.
Why not in winter?
Sulfur may not work well during winter months either due to cold temperatures and snow cover on top of soil that has already been treated with sulfur (which makes them harder for plants like grass or weeds). If you want your yard looking neat again this season but don’t want any dead patches from overgrown weeds or bare spots due to lack of moisture retention then consider applying granular sulfur several weeks prior before laying down new sod!
For liquid sulfur, the best time to apply is during the growing season.
Sulfur is applied to soil in liquid form. The best time to apply sulfur is during the growing season, which occurs either during spring and summer or fall and winter.
- Liquid sulfur is applied as a liquid that can be easily absorbed by the roots of plants.
- You should apply sulfur when you see symptoms of the disease on your lawn like yellowing leaves or wilting flowers, but not if there are no signs of illness yet (you might still have something wrong with your lawn).
If you’re using sulfur to lower your soil’s pH, you can apply it before seeding, sodding, or plugging.

- The best time to apply sulfur is in the fall after your lawn has been mowed and watered. Sulfur works best when applied to a dry, dormant plant that hasn’t been disturbed for about four weeks (the same as for herbicides).
- In springtime, apply sulfur anytime before sodding or taking out plugs from your lawn so that new roots will have a chance at growing under them before they are buried again by snow cover. This helps prevent ice damage during winter months when temperatures drop below freezing-levels.
Sulfur can be applied four times per year.

How to apply sulfur to lawns?
Sulfur in liquid form should be applied at a rate of 1 pound per 1000 square feet. If you have a lawn that’s over 2000 square feet, use 4 pounds of sulfur per 1000 square feet to help prevent weeds from growing back over winter months.
During the winter months (January through March), apply any leftover liquid or granular fertilizer on top of existing grass before applying another application later in springtime—this will ensure that there are no weeds left behind after applying your second application!
Conclusion
If you want to make sure your lawn does not become too acidic, you should consider using sulfur. The best time to apply it is in the fall when the soil is warm and likely full of nutrients. If you’re using liquid sulfur, then you can apply it during any season but its best time would be in spring or early summer.
