How Biostimulants Are Helping Lawns Recover From Stress

Biostimulants are becoming more common in professional lawn care, and they’re backed by growing turf research. These products are usually made from natural compounds like amino acids, seaweed extracts, and humic substances. Instead of acting like traditional fertilizer, they help grass use nutrients more efficiently and encourage deeper, stronger root growth.

They’re especially helpful when lawns are under stress — like during heat waves, drought, heavy foot traffic, or after long winters. While they don’t replace proper fertilization or good lawn care habits, they can improve recovery time and overall turf vigor. Lawns that look thin, pale, or slow to bounce back often just need stronger roots and better nutrient uptake.

Another benefit is improved soil activity. Some biostimulants support beneficial soil microbes, which play a role in nutrient cycling and overall soil structure. Healthier soil means grass can handle stress better and stay greener longer.

Custom Lawn Care uses advanced lawn treatments strategically, especially during stressful Saskatchewan weather patterns where lawns can go from soaking wet to dry in a matter of weeks. When applied at the right time, biostimulants help turf recover faster and grow in thicker.

Stronger roots almost always leads to more resilient turf, and that’s what keeps a lawn looking good through unpredictable prairie seasons.
