A lush, green lawn can transform the look of your home. However, achieving that gorgeous green color isn’t always easy if you’re new to lawn care. Typically, lawn fertilization is required to ensure your yard in East Peoria is properly fed.

We create ongoing, custom-built programs based on local climate patterns and specific grass types, using our extensive knowledge to provide our clients’ landscapes with the essential nutrients they’re craving.
Understanding Lawn Fertilization Basics
Fertilization is one of the topics we receive the most questions about. Take a look at some of the questions our experts frequently answer below.
- Is it ever too hot or cold outside to apply fertilizer? Yes, there are definitely certain seasons when fertilization is not ideal. A good rule of thumb is that fertilizer should be applied when your grass is actively growing. When it is dormant in the coldest winter months or hottest times of the summer season, it won’t benefit from fertilization.
- Do I need to keep my pets and kids away from the yard after fertilizing? You can return to enjoying your lawn about 24 hours after the fertilizer has been watered in by rainfall or irrigation. For example, if you fertilize today and water your grass tomorrow, your family can get back out on the lawn the day after tomorrow.
- What is fertilizer made of? Fertilizer contains nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. These nutrients give your grass its green color, helps its roots grow robustly, and boost your turf’s “immune system,” or its ability to withstand disease and other external threats to its health.
