What\u2019s the difference between a green, lush lawn and a yard full of weeds and bare spots? One common answer: fertilizer. By providing the vital minerals and nutrients grass needs to grow, fertilizer helps you achieve an Instagram-ready lawn.<\/p>\n

When is the right time to fertilize the lawn?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As a Norwood lawn care company<\/a>, we advise homeowners to try for at least three fertilizations during the year. The spring fertilization gives your grass a jump start for the season to come. The mid-summer fertilization keeps the lawn going strong. And the fall fertilization \u2013 which you probably should schedule now! \u2013 gives your lawn a good dose of nutrition to carry the grass during the long, cold winter.<\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t grass die during the winter?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ideally, no. Grass becomes dormant over the winter, which means it\u2019s still alive but in pause mode. During dormancy, grass still requires nutrition, in order to fend off the damaging effects of cold and snow. The more nutrition the grass has available, the better it will survive the winter. That\u2019s why fall fertilization is so important.<\/p>\n

What do I need to know to have my lawn fertilized?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every lawn is different, with specific nutritional requirements based on the type of grass you have and your local growing conditions. We custom blend our fertilizer mixes based on the needs of your specific lawn. Our team of pros will handle everything, so don\u2019t stress it if you don\u2019t know what kind of grass you have or if you\u2019ve never have your soil tested. We make having a great looking lawn easy.<\/p>\n

What is lawn aeration?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In situations where a homeowner\u2019s lawn is very compacted \u2013 think super hard, like clay \u2013 we recommend lawn aeration prior to fertilization. Lawn aeration is the process of mechanically introducing thousands of small holes (each roughly the size of a pencil eraser) into your lawn to allow for the easy permeation of fertilizer, oxygen, and rainwater to your grass\u2019 root system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
