Since we\u2019re experts in lawn care, we understand local grass types, and what they need and when to thrive. We\u2019ll never overfeed or underfeed your yard, as a result. We\u2019ll also keep the local environment in mind when treating your lawn, ensuring our care isn\u2019t causing runoff that can damage wildlife and greenery.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a closer look at some of the DIY lawn fertilization mistakes we&#8217;ll help you avoid:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fertilizer burn.\u00a0<\/strong>When too much fertilizer is laid down, your grass can suffer too much nitrogen exposure. This can actually have a burned effect on your lawn, leaving behind unsightly patches and negatively affecting its health.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choosing an improper nutrient ratio.\u00a0<\/strong>A deeper understanding of what your lawn needs to thrive is required to get fertilization done right, and this includes an understanding of any nutrient imbalances or deficiencies it may be experiencing. Fortunately, our local experts can examine your turf before developing a custom-blended formula based on its seasonal needs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Applying fertilizer haphazardly.\u00a0<\/strong>Uneven distribution of the formula is a major error and can result in your yard looking unkempt due to uneven growth. We sidestep the potential for this problem arising by always using our proprietary\u00a0Turf Tamer\u00ae equipment to distribute fertilizer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Overlooking the importance of complementary steps.\u00a0<\/strong>Fertilization is a lawn care must, but it won&#8217;t be as effective if other lawn care tasks aren&#8217;t completed as well. For example, lawn fertilization and weed control go hand in hand in ensuring that invasive plants don&#8217;t steal away all the nutrients being delivered in the fertilization process. Furthermore, your lawn may need to be aerated to promote the absorption of these nutrients by grass roots.\u00a0<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>About Our Lawn Care Service Guarantee For Homeowners in Alexandria\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Homeowners across the Alexandria area can rely on us for excellent lawn care services thanks to our outstanding guarantee.
