Lawn fertilization is one of the most popular services we provide in the Southaven area. And that makes sense. As a homeowner, it’s hard to simply find time for fertilization, never mind achieving consistent color and lush growth.
If you’re struggling with DIY lawn fertilization, you’ll have questions about how to improve your results. Below are five questions that we routinely hear from homeowners in Southaven, plus answers on how to improve your fertilization efforts.
Common Questions About Lawn Fertilization
1. When should I fertilize my lawn? Most lawns require fertilization four times a year, twice in spring, once in summer, and once in fall. However, the optimal time for applying fertilizer may depend on your species of turf and local weather conditions in Southaven. If you’re unsure when to apply fertilizer, check with a local lawn care expert.
2. Which type of fertilizer should I use? This will depend on the time of year and your species of grass. Your lawn should have an annual schedule that allows you to track which fertilizer to use for each application. You may wish to track this schedule in your personal calendar or with a dedicated app.
3. What’s the best time of day to fertilize? Applying fertilizer in the middle of the day can have adverse consequences, as heat from the sun can cause damage. We typically recommend waiting until late afternoon or early evening to avoid this problem.
4. When should I water my grass? Some fertilizers work better with dry turf, while others work better with a wet lawn. Additionally, some will require watering immediately after fertilization, while others require watering 1-2 days later. The packaging on your fertilizer will indicate the best times to water your turf.
5. Can I stop weeds with fertilizer? Certain types of fertilizer can actively prevent weeds from growing. Our lawn fertilization and weed control services in Southaven use pre-emergent weed control to stop broadleaf weeds while also fertilizing turf.
