Lawn fertilization isn’t always the easiest job for homeowners in the Lindenhurst area. With a DIY approach, most people can give turf the nutrients it needs to survive. But if you want your lawn to truly thrive, a lot needs to go right with fertilization.
No one understands that better than we do at Lawn Doctor of Antioch. Our lawn fertilization services are known for delivering lush lawns, healthy color, and consistent growth. We achieve these results by tailoring our approach for each lawn. That way, your grass gets precisely the right nutrients at precisely the right times.
As Lindenhurst’s lawn care experts, we get a lot of questions from local homeowners about lawn fertilization. Below, we’ll go through four of the questions we hear most often, along with answers to help you with your own lawn.
Lawn Fertilization Questions & Answers
1. How do I know which fertilizer to use? The most important factor in selecting a fertilizer is the NPK values, which indicate the amount of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium in the fertilizer. Your lawn will need different amounts of these ingredients at different times, so you’ll need to select a fertilizer with the right NPK values for each application.
2. What’s the difference between granular and liquid fertilizer? The biggest difference between granular and liquid fertilizer is how quickly each is absorbed. Granular fertilizers release nutrients slowly, which means they sustain your lawn for a longer time. Liquid fertilizer is best when grass is struggling to absorb granular fertilizer or needs nutrients quickly.
3. Should I invest in a quality spreader? We strongly recommend getting a quality spreader for applying fertilizer. This will make it easier to achieve even coverage, which will help you avoid patchy or overgrown sections of grass. Also, be sure to pay careful attention to the instructions on the fertilizer packaging for spreader settings.
4. When is the best time of day to fertilize? If possible, we suggest fertilizing in late afternoon or early evening. Fertilizing in the middle of the day can allow the sun to burn the grass blades, leading to unsightly damage.
