Lawn Fertilization

If you’re like most property owners, you’ve probably questioned the need for fertilizing your lawn. More often than not, the need for fertilization stems from the fact that many residential properties are lacking in quality soil (builders commonly remove the best soil from properties during home construction). The soil that’s left behind lacks organic matter as well as the macro- and micro-organisms necessary for creating and converting nutrients into a form that grass plants can use.

As a result, your lawn is almost completely dependent on you to provide it with the nutrients it needs to stay thick and green. Topping the list of these nutrients are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, each of which contributes significantly to the overall health of your grass. Nitrogen promotes foliage production, phosphorus encourages root and seed development, and potassium helps to hold water and maintain general vigor. 

With regular fertilization throughout the growing season, Southern Lawns can provide your turf with all of the nutrients it needs to maintain healthy growth. For more information on lawn fertilization, or if you’d like to schedule this service for your lawn, give us a call today.
