How Lawn Fertilization Boosts the Health of Wheaton Area Lawns
Primarily, fertilization improves the nutrient density of your lawn in Wheaton, but the resulting benefits can be widespread when properly administered. Here is a closer look at a few of the benefits of effective lawn fertilization from Lawn Doctor of Batavia-Aurora:
Improved Growth
Grass needs a few things to grow: sunlight, water, and nutritious soil. Your lawn’s nutrient levels can fall throughout the year as your plants use them up. If they’re not replaced, stunted growth, thinning, fading, and several other unsightly side effects can pop up in Wheaton. Lawn fertilization treatments replenish your lawn’s nutrient stores so it can go on producing healthy growth.
Increased Disease Resistance
Healthy turf resists disease. Well fed turf is healthy. Several lawn diseases, however, thrive when the turf is under-nourished or has nutrient imbalances. Nutrient imbalances are a detriment to your lawn’s overall health, and they can cause problems both in the soil and on the surface of your lawn. At Lawn Doctor of Batavia-Aurora, we apply lawn fertilization treatments to correct and maintain the proper nutrient balance in the soil.
Increased Weed Resistance
Weeds can be a menacing sight once they start to appear in your yard. Regular fertilization is an important component in weed control. Maintaining thick healthy turf is the best defense against weeds. A lawn with balanced and abundant nutrients has grass with thicker roots, leaving less room for weeds to infiltrate.
