Lawn Fertilization

Lawn FertilizationAside from the basics of mowing and watering, the single most important thing you can do for your lawn is to provide proper nutrition by fertilizing. That's because no soil, even the richest top soil, contains sufficient nutrients to produce an attractive lawn. Most homeowners nowadays realize that fertilizing is important. So they feed their lawn occasionally, maybe once or twice a year.

One or two feedings make a marked improvement in the grass, but no lawn fed once or twice a year can ever look its best. That's because grass can't thrive on a feast-or-famine diet and one or two feedings a year means that the lawn is going hungry much of the time. To develop fully, grass must have a continuous supply of nutrients throughout the growing season...from spring through fall. We include extras like our double overlap application technique to ensure even growth and thickening without unsightly streaking or spotting off your lawn.

We follow a 5 times per year fertilization program which takes care of everything that your lawn needs in order to stay healthy.
