Not only does it help green up your grass, but it also boosts natural defenses and the recovery process from wear and tear. Yet, in order to take advantage of all that fertilization can offer, you have to avoid a few common mistakes. Here&#8217;s a look at four of them:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mistake #1: Not evaluating the soil.<\/strong> Lawns are\u00a0only as healthy as the soil they grow in. So if your soil quality is poor \u2013 for instance, with a pH imbalance or compaction \u2013\u00a0then it could lead to nutrient deficiencies and related issues. And no matter how much fertilizer you apply, it won&#8217;t do much in the way of enhancing your lawn since both conditions hinder nutrient absorption. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to evaluate your soil for signs of compaction, as well as conduct a soil test to check the pH level\u00a0and nutrient content.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Mistake #2: Timing applications incorrectly. <\/strong>Timing fertilizer applications depends on your lawn type. Cool-season grasses should be fertilized at the end of summer, during fall to prepare for the winter ahead, and in late winter\/early spring to help it green up and grow in faster. Warm-season grasses can also be fertilized at these points, as well as during late spring\/early summer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mistake #3: Using the wrong product. <\/strong>Knowing what your lawn needs to thrive is a critical part of the fertilization process. As lawn care service professionals, we know this\u00a0can often depend on your lawn&#8217;s overall health, soil quality, local climate conditions, and the age of your lawn. Developing lawns, for example, will require a different blend of nutrients than well-established ones.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mistake #4: Over-fertilizing. <\/strong>Whenever you do feed your lawn, make sure you keep applications four to eight\u00a0weeks apart. Otherwise, you&#8217;ll over-feed your grass,\u00a0risk burning it, or create conditions for excessive top growth that roots aren&#8217;t strong enough to sustain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Murfreesboro&#8217;s Source for Quality Fertilization and Lawn Care Services<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Don&#8217;t risk making these mistakes in your lawn.
