Lawn fertilization and treatment help support growth and preserve the appearance of your grass. Natural Way Lawn offers lawn fertilizer services tailored to your backyard and climate. Here are three signs that your lawn requires a fertilizer service:
1. Discolored or Trampled Grass
The color of your lawn helps indicate whether you require a lawn fertilizer service. Discolored grass, such as yellowing areas, is a symptom of nutrient deficiency. This deficiency also causes thinner turf, and it reduces fillering, which refers to side shoots that make your lawn appear fuller. Lawn care companies such as Natural Way Lawn offer fertilizers that provide a blend of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. A balanced fertilizer helps provide nutrients for lawn growth without overloading the soil.
Trampled glass on the lawn is a sign of heavy foot traffic, which can result in soil compaction. This reduces access to the nutrients the lawn needs for new growth. Lawn fertilizer treatments provide nutrients that help lawns recover, allowing foliage to fill in trampled spots. Our programs include options for pellet mineral-based granular fertilizer and organic fertilizer. Lawns that are used as walking shortcuts or have children playing on them may require more frequent treatments.
2. Weed Growth
A fertilizer service helps address weed growth. Common lawn weeds include dandelions, clover, and crabgrass. Other weeds include:
- Black medic: This weed has three-clover type leaves and hairy stems. Yellow flowers grow on it in late spring.
- Curly dock: Curly dock is a perennial weed that has lance-shaped leaves. It has green flowers that appear on a narrow spike.
- Mouse-ear chickweed: This weed features long, narrow, fuzzy-appearing leaves. In the spring, white flowers appear.
- Dallas grass: Dallas grass refers to coarse grass blades that grow in a bunch. Stems grow from the center in a star pattern.
Lawn care services offer plans that include weed control. Natural Way Lawn offers Naturally Green and Naturally Organic lawn programs, where certified applicators use post-emergent weed control or traditional herbicides to promote weed-free lawns. Bio-herbicide is another weed control option; it is made from iron and controls common weeds such as dandelions, English daisies, and Canada thistle.
3. Dead Patches or Unusual Growth
Unusual growth or dead patches in your grass are a sign of lawn disease. Dollar spot and fusarium blight are diseases that appear under hot and dry conditions, and both are characterized by dead patches of grass. Dollar spot has patches the size of a silver dollar, while fusarium blight patches are several inches long. Lawn leaf spot is a fungal disease that happens in cool and moist conditions, and it causes yellow spots on the grass.
A lawn fertilizer service company is able to examine your lawn and offer solutions to treat these various conditions. Fungal diseases can be treated with fungicides to control their spread. Natural Way Lawn offers a timed three-step program to treat fusarium blight.
Soil pH adjustments also help with disease management. We provide soil testing to learn about current pH levels and nutrient levels. Fertilization also acts as a preventative effort against lawn disease, offering nutrients before disease conditions occur.
