The Pros of Professional Fertilization

Are you fertilizing your lawn correctly?

If you use DIY fertilizer, you may be missing out on the benefits of proper fertilization. Here are two big reasons why you should consider hiring a professional fertilization company:

The pros properly apply the correct fertilizer. Not all lawns have the same fertilization needs. Applying the incorrect type or amount of fertilizer can be harmful to your lawn. Professionals know what kind of fertilizer your lawn needs, and how to correctly apply it. Don’t risk damaging your lawn - hiring professionals means you know the correct type of fertilizer was used, and that it was timely and correctly applied.

The pros save you time and stress. Effective fertilization requires sticking to a schedule. Even a small lawn can take hours of care per month to maintain. When you hire the pros, you don’t have to worry about missing a fertilizer application or rushing to apply too much in a short span of time.

Best Tips for Spreading Fertilizer this Spring

Ready to make your lawn a green oasis? 

Spring fertilization is the first step to your greenest grass, so you want to make sure you get it right. Follow these fertilizing tips for foolproof lawncare. 

1. Get the timing right.

Make sure you need to wait until soil temperatures reach 55° Fahrenheit. You can check temperatures with a probe thermometer or wait until the grass starts growing. 

2. Broadcast it.

We recommend applying fertilizer with broadcast spreaders over drop spreaders. They are easy to use and spread your application farther to help you overlap rows and avoid a stripey yard.

Choosing the Right Fertilizer for Spring

Want the best lawn in the neighborhood this spring?

You can be the envy of your neighbors with a lush, green yard. The first step to success is choosing the right fertilizer. Follow these simple tips to get it done!

Fast or slow?

Slow-release lawn fertilizers are typically your best choice. The nutrients in these formulas take longer to break down and allow you to spread fertilizer less frequently. You can wait up to eight weeks between applications with slow-release. 

Granules or liquid?

When you’re applying your own fertilizer, granules are the best choice because it makes application easy and cost effective. All you need is an inexpensive spreader!

How much is too much?

When you know nitrogen leads to greener grass, it can be tempting to apply as much as possible. But going overboard on nitrogen will cause your grass to grow too fast and leave you mowing constantly. Stick to the ratio we recommended above and save yourself the extra effort.

Professional Lawn Care vs. DIY

 Does your lawn not look the way you want it to, even after all your hard work?

Let’s look at the ways professional lawn care can help alleviate the stress of DIY care.

Challenges of DIY Lawn Care:

● Could apply the wrong type of fertilizer, resulting in uneven, patchy grass.

● Could apply too much fertilizer, which can kill the grass.

● Treatment may not be suited for the current state of the grass.

● Difficult to fertilize without proper equipment.

● Takes hours of manual labor. 

Benefits of Professional Lawn Care:

● Fertilizer is customized to your lawn, including the specific nutrients that will target weeds like crabgrass and broadleaf, as well as insects like grubs.

● Professional equipment that ensures consistent treatment.

● Testing of soil available upon request to determine the exact state of your lawn and what it needs.

Professional Lawn Care Saves You Time

Instead of spending the hours it takes to maintain your lawn, would you rather do something that you enjoy?

Unless lawn care is a personal passion, most homeowners would rather spend the long, often grueling hours it can take to keep up a lush green lawn doing something else—spending time with family, tackling household chores, sneaking in a nap, etc. 

Our professional lawn care takes the work out of your hands, giving you a beautiful lawn without the grueling hours of DIY care on your part.

What’s the Difference Between Warm-Season and Cool-Season Grass?

Warm-season grass grows best at 80-95 °F. Examples include: St. Augustine, Zoysia, Bermuda, Bahia, and centipede grass. Warm-season grass grows vigorously during the summer months. You should begin feeding in spring (late March to April) and continue every 6 to 8 weeks until early fall (August to September).

Cool-season grass grows best at 65-75 °F. Examples include Kentucky bluegrass, ryegrass, fescues, and bent grass. Cool-season grass grows vigorously during spring and fall, with a tendency to go dormant during the heat of summer. Feed twice in spring (April to June) and twice in fall (August to October). Add in summer feedings every 6 to 8 weeks only if you irrigate the lawn to keep it actively growing.
