Fertilization

Why fertilize?

First of all, what is fertilizer? Fertilizer is a general name given to a variety of products that contain essential nutrients needed by your lawn. Nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and iron just to name a few. There are several reasons to fertilize your lawn.

1. Fertilizing the lawn is essential to maintain the beautiful green color that is desired in your lawn.
2. Fertilizing the lawn helps promote a thicker sod, which provides a more comfortable feel, reduces infestations of weeds, and improves water use efficiency.
3. Fertilizing the lawn encourages root growth, which prepares the lawn to deal with environmental stresses such as extreme heat or cold.

The fertility is important to the overall health and appearance of your lawn. Fertilizer applications will differ greatly depending on the type of grass you have and the condition of the soil in your lawn. Our program includes soil testing of your lawn for pH and nutrient levels. This enables us to apply the nutrients your lawn needs at the proper time.

Lime is a soil additive that keeps the pH at the proper level to ensure all nutrients are properly utilized in the soil. If pH levels indicate that lime is needed, we will apply it to ensure the best soil environment for your lawn.

Proper soil fertility is a key component to a healthy, thick, green lawn.
