Benefits of Lawn Fertilization
Nutrient-rich soil produces resilient, attractive turf. Investing in lawn fertilization improves the aesthetic and usefulness of your landscape.
Boosts lawn health: A proper fertilization schedule helps grass grow strong. This leads to fewer bare patches and stronger resistance to pests and disease.
Improves curb appeal: Healthy lawns contribute to a polished, professional property appearance. Clients and visitors will love your residential or commercial landscape.
Crowds out weeds: Dense, well-nourished lawns leave little to no room for invasive weeds. Regular fertilization will help your turf to naturally suppress them.
Strengthens root systems: Deep roots improve drought tolerance and durability. Strong roots help turf remain stable in high-traffic areas.

Fertilizer + Weed Control
Three applications combine nutrient-rich fertilizer with targeted weed suppression. This approach provides continued growth while limiting broadleaf weed spread.
Synthetic Products by Default
We use synthetic blends unless you request something different. These products provide reliable results for various turf conditions.
Safety Precautions
We recommend restricting access to treated areas for 24 hours post-application. This gives the turf time to absorb the treatment and keeps it effective.
FAQs
What type of grass do you service?
Most of our lawns use turf-type tall fescue, but we can work with other types too. We'll take a look and let you know what works best.
How can I tell if my lawn needs fertilization?
Watch for thin patches, weeds, or dull color. We can check it out and recommend what to do next.
Is fertilizer safe for pets and kids?
Yes, once it settles into the grass. Just keep everyone off the lawn for 24 hours to be safe.
Can you adjust the fertilization plan?
We follow a five-step program, but we can make changes if your property needs something different. We keep it flexible to fit your site.
Do mowing and fertilizing happen together?
It's better to do them at different times. We'll work around your mowing schedule to keep everything on track.
