Our Lawn Maintenance Tips for Improving Grass Color
Enhancing the color of your grass requires an in-depth knowledge of the role macronutrients play in its growth. The primary macronutrient responsible for your turf’s color is nitrogen. This nutrient is crucial during photosynthesis and allows for ample production of chlorophyl. By ensuring grass takes in the sunlight it needs to kickstart the photosynthesis process, nitrogen opens the door to greener, healthier growth.
To ensure your grass receives the ongoing supply of nitrogen it is craving, frequent fertilization is key. That being said, it’s quite difficult to see a total transformation in your turf’s color through DIY fertilization. Instead, precise treatment using professional tools and custom-blended materials is a must. In addition, timing is of the essence when it comes to fertilization. That’s why we always recommend having our experienced team choose and apply fertilizer for you. This will allow for:
- Perfect timing. Fertilizer should only be applied at specific intervals in the growing cycle of your grass, and the timing depends on the species of grass type you have, as well as local climate patterns.
- The ideal formula. The needs of your turf will differ from those of your neighbor’s lawn, and it can be difficult to select the perfect formula without professional knowledge.
- Careful application. Applying too much or too little fertilizer can have unexpected consequences, including nutrient deficiencies, uneven growth, and fertilizer burn.
