How does fertilization work with my yard?

Fertilizer is designed to deliver Macro nutrients, Micro nutrients or a combination of these to the plant. Each nutrient plays an important role in the health of our lawns. Nitrogen promotes leaf growth and helps to green up a lawn, phosphorus aids the plant in root development and potassium helps cell recovery and development to help the lawn bounce back from stresses. Micronutrients play a role in supporting stronger, greener turf by fueling essential plant processes that macro nutrients are unable to handle alone.

As these nutrients break down, they gradually move through the soil profile, becoming available for uptake by the lawn’s root system. Lawn fertilizers vary in their release rates; some are formulated for slow, steady nutrient delivery, while others provide a quicker release. We also offer Milorganite as an additional option for feeding and maintaining a healthy lawn along with other optional services such as lime, iron boosters and gypsum, just to name a few. If you have noticed the lawn not responding as expected to previous feedings, a soil test may be recommended to take a deeper look at the profile.

The broadleaf weed control is applied to the undesired broadleaf plant and travels down to the root system. It can take up to 2 weeks for the weeds to die out. If you still see weeds in the lawn after that two week period, please contact our office for a weed control service call so we can target them again (some weeds are hardy and may require multiple sprays to complete control).
