As a\u00a0professional lawn care service provider\u00a0in the Stroudsburg area, we know there are a few different tasks you’ll need to perform regularly in your yard throughout the growing season. These include watering, mowing, and fertilizing. While mowing and watering are simple, fertilizing can be tricky to get right. To ensure you perform the job properly, here are a few common questions and answers about the process:<\/p>\n
Why is fertilization important?<\/strong> Getting your grass into the best shape possible requires regular supplementation. That’s because the soil your lawn grows in typically doesn’t offer the right mix of nutrients\u00a0or enough of them\u00a0to optimally support lawn health and development, especially during the growing season. And without the right level of life-giving minerals and other essentials, deficiencies will develop over time.<\/p>\n When should I fertilize?<\/strong> In our Northeast climate, cool-season grasses, including\u00a0Kentucky bluegrass, Fine and Tall Fescue,\u00a0and\u00a0Ryegrass\u00a0tend to grow best. Not only are these species more tolerant of shade and cold, but they’re also more resistant to cold-weather injury and disease. When it comes to lawn care fertilization services for them, Lawn Doctor of Stroudsburg-Bangor recommends late summer, fall,\u00a0and early spring.<\/p>\n
