Professional Lawn Fertilization 101: What to Know First
If you’ve never partnered with a professional lawn fertilization team in the Hamilton area in the past, you might be wondering what to expect. Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we get. If yours isn’t listed, simply call our team.
Why is fertilizing so important? Fertilizing your lawn feeds the root system down below, so it grows deep and strong. It also promotes richer, brighter color, thicker grass blades, and more beauty overall. In addition, it helps your lawn withstand stress, from kids to pets to drought and heat.
Should I mow or rake before Lawn Doctor of Columbus-Phenix City fertilizes? Mowing your lawn before we fertilize will help to expose more soil. If you’re noticing a heavy layer of surface thatch over the soil, it’s also a good idea to rake to try to break it up. Fertilizer will have an easier time reaching the soil, as a result.
Should I water before or after? Watering a day or two ahead is helpful since it hydrates the soil and softens it, so fertilizer gets absorbed. As for after fertilizing, we typically recommend it. However, our technicians will explain exactly when once they’re done fertilizing your lawn.
What about aerating? Aerating depends on the condition of your soil. If it’s compacted, aerating before fertilizing can actually make the treatment more effective. This is simply because the process of aerating exposes more of the soil, so nutrients get better absorbed.
What if it rains right after Lawn Doctor of Columbus-Phenix City treats my lawn? Light rain is not a problem. However, if heavy rains are forecasted, we may reschedule, so the fertilizer doesn’t get washed away.
When can my kids or pets go back on it? Generally, 24 hours after watering or a rainfall.
