For instance, did you know that New Jersey\u2019s fertilizer laws are some of the most restrictive in the nation?\u00a0They\u2019re designed to protect our waterways and local water supply. But they also impact how and when you fertilize your lawn. Here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Lawn Care Services: How to Fertilize Your\u00a0Toms River-Area Yard<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>According to the law, homeowners cannot fertilize their lawns with products containing nitrogen or phosphorous between November 15th and March 1st. Lawn care companies in Toms River and throughout New Jersey have a little more leeway and can provide fertilization lawn care services all the way until December 1st.<\/p>\n<p>This coincides with your lawn\u2019s growing seasons. Your grass goes dormant during winter, making fertilizer applications ineffective. But once early spring hits and your lawn begins to green up, you should consider applying your first treatment. This will help promote healthy new growth as well as support the recovery process from winter\u2019s toll. Beyond the early spring application, late summer and fall are also ideal times to fertilize cool-season lawns.<\/p>\n<p>Just make sure that whatever applications you do apply, you keep about six to eight weeks between each one. Otherwise, your lawn will get overfed, which can lead to rapid growth on top of the soil and an insufficient root system down below to support it.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if you\u2019re handling fertilization on your own, make sure the products you buy are formulated to comply with New Jersey fertilization laws, meaning they contain 20% slow-release nitrogen and 0% phosphorus. Phosphorus can only be applied when a soil test indicates it\u2019s needed, or if you\u2019re establishing a new lawn.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Lawn Care Service Professionals: Get Expert Help Today<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to deal with the hassles of fertilization, plus following the ins and outs of the state laws, turn to the lawn care professionals in the local area who are experts in it all.
