fertilizing
why fertilize?
Have you ever wondered why some lawns look so lush and healthy? One key factor is fertilization. Over time, lawns deplete the soil of essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium – nutrients that are crucial for healthy growth. Fertilizing is the process of replenishing these vital nutrients, essentially "feeding" your grass. Providing these elements ensures your lawn is able to grow thicker, develop a deep green color, and become more resilient. Think of it as giving your lawn the resources it needs to thrive.
Want a Lush, Weed-Free Lawn? Don't Forget the Fertilizer?
Lawn fertilizer plays a crucial role in weed prevention. By supplying essential nutrients, it promotes vigorous grass growth and robust root systems. This dense, healthy growth naturally hinders weed establishment and enhances the overall density of your lawn. Nourish your lawn, and keep weeds at bay.
Water and sun aren't enough! Your lawn needs the power of fertilizer. Nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus are essential for strong growth, disease resistance, and overall health. Give your grass the nutrients it's missing. Get fertilizing today!
When to fertilize?

late spring
Don't let your lawn lag this late spring! It's used up its stored energy, so now's the time to feed it. Fertilizing between April and June, six to eight weeks after your early spring feed, strengthens roots and helps your lawn fight back against unwanted weeds. Get ready for a vibrant, weed-free lawn!
summer
Summer's tough on your lawn! Heat, drought, and foot traffic can leave it stressed. Give your grass the protection it needs with a summer fertilizer. Applying it now, 6-8 weeks after your spring feed, helps maximize watering and encourages deep, healthy root growth. Don't let summer beat your lawn - feed it!
fall
Don't let your lawn go dormant unprepared! Fall is the prime time for fertilization. By feeding your lawn now, you'll help it recover from summer stress and build strong roots for a lush spring. Apply your fertilizer once between August and November, about 6-8 weeks after your summer feeding. Get your lawn ready for winter – and a beautiful spring!

How Often Should You Aerate?
Clay Soil:
Aerate at least once a year due to its tendency to compact more easily.
Sandy Soil:
Aerate once a year or every other year, as this soil type tends to be less prone to compaction.
All Other Soil Types:
Aerate once a year, or alternate years, to maintain optimal lawn health.
Dry Climates:
Consider aerating twice a year to enhance lawn performance and combat the effects of dry conditions.
