Lawn fertilization can be challenging for homeowners in the Westhampton area. Most people can achieve the bare minimum when fertilizing turf. But if you have high standards for your lawn, it can be hard to get professional-quality results.<\/p>\n
At Lawn Doctor of The Hamptons, our lawn fertilization program makes growing healthy turf easy for families and homeowners in Westhampton. We achieve our results by carefully tailoring our approach to\u00a0the unique growing conditions on your property.<\/p>\n
As Westhampton’s lawn care experts, we get asked a lot about fertilization. Below are four of the questions we commonly hear from homeowners, along with tips you can apply to your lawn.<\/p>\n
What do the NPK values on fertilizer mean?<\/strong>\u00a0Every package of fertilizer will have three numbers, which are known as NPK values.\u00a0These values represent the percentage of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium. Choosing the right NPK values will depend on the time of year, the condition of your lawn, and your goals for fertilization.<\/p>\n What do different fertilizer ingredients do?<\/strong>\u00a0The three main ingredients in fertilizer each have a different effect on grass. Nitrogen is known for rapid growth and vibrant color,\u00a0phosphorous helps turf develop strong root systems, and potassium promotes overall health. Some homeowners use the phrase\u00a0\u201cup, down, and all-around\u201d to remember these qualities.<\/p>\n What is the difference between liquid and granular fertilizer?<\/strong>\u00a0The main difference between these two types of fertilizer is the rate of absorption. Liquid fertilizers are absorbed more quickly, but they don’t last as long. Granular fertilizers are built for slow\u00a0release, so they take longer to absorb, but they nourish your lawn for a longer time.<\/p>\n What type of fertilizer can I use if I’m worried about weeds?<\/strong>\u00a0Certain types of fertilizer are designed to encourage healthy grass while discouraging weeds. These are known as pre-emergent weed control\u00a0fertilizers. Many of our clients\u00a0opt for pre-emergent weed control as part of their lawn fertilization plan.<\/p>\n There’s no easier way to fertilize your lawn than with a professional’s help.
