Below, Lawn Doctor of the Albemarle shares what you need to know.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Lawn Care Services: Getting Fertilization Right in\u00a0the\u00a0Outer Banks<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to fertilization, there are a few different variables to keep in mind before and during the process. That way, your efforts don&#8217;t go to waste and you see noticeable results in your lawn over time. Some questions to ask yourself to ensure you fertilize correctly include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>When should I fertilize? <\/strong>This depends on lawn type and whether it&#8217;s cool- or warm-season. As lawn care experts, we know cool-season lawns in the Outer Banks area\u00a0should be fertilized in early spring, end of summer, and during fall. Warm-season lawns, however, should be fed in early spring, late spring or early summer, late summer, and autumn.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How often should I fertilize? <\/strong>Frequency depends on the overall health of your lawn. We typically recommend around six to eight applications during the growing season. However, your turf may require less depending on its unique needs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What should I fertilize with? <\/strong>There are 16 different nutrients necessary\u00a0for healthy development and\u00a0robust growth, with nitrogen and potassium being the most important. However, your specific lawn might require more or less of each one depending on soil quality and turf health. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s best to perform a soil test first so you can identify exact deficiencies and demands.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Lawn Care Services: Leave the Work to Our Professionals<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot to keep in mind when it comes to\u00a0proper fertilization.
