How to Keep Your Lawn Healthy With the Right Fertilization Plan

You don’t have to invest hours a week to have a lush, green lawn that’s the envy of the neighborhood. In fact, with a fertilizer spreader and about 30 minutes, you can enjoy beautiful green grass after just a few weeks! At Procare Property Services, we enjoy helping our clients find the right landscaping solutions to turn a drab lawn into an enjoyable outdoor space for your family and friends.

Why Use Fertilizer?

Depending on your soil, your grass and flowers may not get all the nutrients they need to become thick and lush. Like us, plants need certain kinds of nutrients, and using a fertilizer can help supply what the soil in your yard can’t.

How Do I Choose the Right Fertilizer?

All regions are different, and one homeowner’s needs may not be the needs of someone in a separate area. The right fertilizer doesn’t just help your chosen plants bloom and grow — it can reduce invasive species, such as crabgrass, weeds, or dandelions too. This saves you time and money for weeding these out. Different types of fertilizer, used at the right time, can eliminate all the pesky invasive species in your lawn.

Unwanted plants aren’t the only things the right fertilizer can remove from your landscape. If you have fire ants, mosquitos, slugs, or other insect pests in your yard, an appropriate fertilizer can help reduce and remove these, as well.

Helpful Fertilizing Tips

Choosing the right fertilizer first involves knowing what kind of grass you have. A professional landscaper can tell you if you don’t know or can guide you towards one that’s hardier and easier to care for if you wish to re-sod your lawn. Then, think about your goals. Do you need to remove pests, or do you simply want to maintain your yard’s health?

Next, follow the instructions for the fertilizer strictly. Use the correct amount at the right intervals, and don’t neglect to water your lawn — especially in hot summer months.
