Why does one lawn look lush, vibrant and green while the lawn immediately next door is sad, dying and brown? The answer is often fertilizer. In this week\u2019s guide to having great grass, we\u2019re going to look at how one simple lawn treatment can radically transform your lawn\u2019s appearance and health.<\/p>\n
What Is Fertilizer and Why Is It Important?<\/strong><\/p>\n Fertilizer is basically food for plants. As you know, most plants get their nutrition via their roots from the soil. If the soil in your yard is not too great, your grass doesn\u2019t have a lot of nutrients to develop with. The result is poor, patchy grass growth.<\/p>\n Fertilizer is applied to the soil to provide for the nutrients that aren\u2019t already there. There are many different minerals and types of organic material that can be used to supplement the soil. The reason your Cohasset lawn service performs a soil analysis prior to make any recommendations is to discover which specific nutrients are most lacking in your lawn. \u00a0The best fertilizer is the one that\u2019s custom mixed for your lawn\u2019s specific needs.<\/p>\n
