Your outdoor spaces need effective fertilization to stay healthy and produce consistent growth through the seasons, but getting right is tough to do without help from the experts. There are several factors affecting the results you’re able to achieve with fertilization treatments, including the type of fertilizer used, the application timing, and many more. At Lawn Doctor of Grand Rapids, we use our industry expertise to optimize our lawn fertilization treatments and bring Kentwood, MI lawns the care they need to thrive.
When is Lawn Fertilization Necessary?
Fertilizing your yard is an important part of keeping it healthy, but fertilization treatments are significantly less effective if they’re not timed right. There are several factors that determine exactly when is the best time to fertilize your yard and how many applications are needed throughout the year. One of the most important of these factors is the type of grass growing in your outdoor spaces. Here’s a quick look at how we adapt our lawn fertilization schedules to different grass types:
Cool Season Grasses. Because they are semi-dormant throughout the summer months, cool season grasses require fertilization treatments less often than warm season grasses. Rye, Kentucky bluegrass, and other cool season grasses fare best when fertilized once at the beginning of spring and again once fall begins.
Warm Season Grasses. Bahia, centipede, and other warm season grasses, on the other hand, need more attention to stay healthy. To bring out the best in lawns populated primarily by warm season grasses, we generally fertilize them at least four times throughout the year.
By choosing the professional lawn fertilization we offer at Lawn Doctor of Grand Rapids, you can leave the scheduling to us. We’ll work around your yard’s grass type and other characteristics to create a fertilization schedule that gets the best results possible.
