As local experts in the State College and Bellefonte areas, we know that whether you want to improve color, thickness, or disease resistance, no other lawn care service can make as big a difference in your yard as fertilization. While the soil your grass is rooted in offers access to nutrients, the levels typically aren’t enough to support optimal health during the growing season.
Fertilization delivers critical essentials to grass and serves as a meal replacement or supplement of sorts. Not only does it feed your lawn, but many kinds can also provide added benefits. For instance, it can help the soil retain more water as well as improve air flow, both of which are good for grass plants.
So what nutrients does your lawn need? There are 16 different elements necessary for a strong and thriving lawn. The two primary ones are nitrogen and potassium. Nitrogen helps boost color, the speed at which grass grows, and the quality and appearance of the blades. Potassium, on the other hand, is vital when it comes to enhancing disease resistance, improving cold and drought tolerance, and supporting plant processes, such as photosynthesis. There are also a variety of other secondary nutrients lawns need, but in lower amounts.
Overall, once your lawn is carefully fertilized at the correct times of the year, it will have:
- A healthier, deeper growing root system
- Faster recovery from stress and foot traffic
- Fewer spreading weeds
- Better color and lusher growth
- Improved curb appeal
