fertilizing

Why does your neighbor’s grass look so much better than yours? Fertilization is one answer. His lawn is getting enough nutrients to supply all of that green growth. What looks like one big carpet is really millions of individual grass plants, and those plants require a great deal of nutrients to grow. Your soil supplies some of them, but many are lost to leaching, evaporation, and grass clipping removal all the time. Fertilization resupplies those nutrients to your grass.

How does fertilizing help your lawn? It promotes new leaf and root growth of the individual grasses. A healthier, more robust lawn prevents erosion, filters pollutants, cleans the air, and naturally cools your property. It will save you money on water because it requires less irrigation. It’s also less likely to suffer from weeds, insects, and disease if it’s fertilized regularly.
