When Are the Most Effective Times of the Year for Application of Commonly Used Fertilizers?

For best results, fertilizer should be applied three times a year; in early spring, late spring, and again in late summer. It is most effective to apply the process when the grass is in active growth, and not during the hottest summer months. It’s important to know whether you have cool or warm season grass to decide on a fertilization schedule.

Our team will help determine how often feedings are needed, but it’s important to apply fertilizer in many treatments during periods of active growth to give the grass strength and fullness. Here are the different types of commonly used fertilizers:

• Organic - contains animal manure, compost, mineral deposits, and other natural ingredients
• Inorganic/synthetic - made from chemicals
• Chemical Nitrogenous - converts nitrogen into ammonia to fertilize
• Phosphate - can be made from organic phosphate or synthetic
• Potassium - increases potassium content in gardens and fields

Fertilizing New Lawns or Established Lawns Require Different Balances of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, & Potassium

When fertilizing new lawns, it is recommended to use a “starter” product high in phosphorus to boost root formation. Established lawns are usually fed with products that contain more nitrogen than phosphorus, but both new and existing lawns should receive potassium. It’s a tricky balance that our experienced pros can manage for you to yield the best results.

Details About Our Regularly Scheduled Lawn Weed Control

Regularly scheduled lawn weed control and prevention are necessary to ensure your yard can thrive. Weeds take up valuable space in your lawn and landscaping areas, stealing nutrients from your grass and plant life. Our treatments work down to the root to eradicate weeds to give your lawn a consistent look and healthy root system. It’s important to maintain treatments at least every month to prevent certain weeds from establishing deeper, stronger roots.

Organic weed control options that don't use Glysophate (Roundup).

For those homeowners and businesses that prefer to stay organic, we have options for you too! Most industry-standard weed control services rely upon herbicides, which use a chemical base such as Glysophate or Dicamba to kill weeds. With our organic weed control program, we use natural elements to control the weed growth in your lawn. Although organic weed control options take a bit longer to be effective, they are safer on human and pet contact.
