Why is Lawn Fertilizing Important?

You may wonder why your lawn needs periodic fertilizer. Most people think that lawns get everything they need from sunshine and regular watering. That is only partially true, as this provides about 75% of what a healthy lawn requires to look and remain healthy. Even if the soil your lawn is planted in contains everything it needs over time several nutrients will be depleted. Fertilizing replenishes these nutrients, normally nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorous; for your lawn to stay healthy.

​

This may seem pretty simple, buy some fertilizer and spread it on your lawn. However, knowing the correct type of fertilizer; which specific nutrients your lawn needs based on your soil and location, how much to apply, and the best time to apply them requires experienced lawn professionals.
