Frequently Asked Questions About Lawn Fertilization in Southern Wake County

Because of how confusing choosing and applying fertilizers can be, our team gets several questions from local homeowners on the subject. To help get you started with effective lawn fertilization, here’s a closer look at some of the most frequent questions our customers have for us and their corresponding answers:

Should I apply fertilizers during a certain part of the day? You can safely apply granular fertilizer at anytime of the day. Applying liquid fertilizers in the late afternoon or in the early evening when the sun is still up is generally the best course of action. If you apply liquid fertilizer to your lawn in the early afternoon, the sun can burn your grass and ruin your efforts.

How should I mow my lawn? Mowing your lawn at the right height is important for the health of your lawn. Cool season grasses like fescue should be cut at 3 1/2 to 4 inches and warm season grasses like Bermuda should be cut at around 2 to 2 1/2 inches. You can cut warm season grasses shorter as long as the mower blades do not scalp the soil when mowing. To get the most out of treatments, mow your lawn in mulching mode. Mulching will return much of the nutrients in the blades of grass back to the soil where they can be used again. Never remove more than 1/3 of the height of the grass at any time.

What are the benefits of fertilizing my lawn? Fertilizing your yard furnishes it with the nutrients it needs to stay healthy and protect itself against external threats like weeds and lawn diseases. With a consistent source of nutrients, your lawn will be able to support grass growth and stay greener in the long run.
