Lawn fertilizer services provide helpful nutrients to keep your lawn green and lush. If your lawn has brown patches, is overly thin, or is not growing well, it may be time to invest in a fertilizer service. Natural Way Lawn offers several different fertilization and maintenance programs that we tailor to your needs. Here are a few tips for grass upkeep after you finish fertilizing your Lawn:
1. Plan Your Watering Schedule
Once our team of experts performs a lawn fertilizer service, set a regular watering schedule. Watering your lawn will make sure that the fertilizer dissolves and absorbs into the soil. Avoid watering your grass too frequently for long periods of time, as this may lead to fungus and mold growth. The Natural Way Lawn team will help you create a custom watering program to make sure you are not over- or under-watering. We recommend following a daily watering schedule for 20 to 30 minutes earlier in the day.
2. Take a Break From Mowing
Mowing immediately after applying fertilizer may disrupt the proper absorption of the product. Granulated fertilizers need time to break down and dissolve into the soil. Mowing the lawn after applying this fertilizer type will unevenly disperse the granules across your lawn. Waiting a few days gives the fertilizer time to release its nutrients into your grass. Our team will also provide recommendations for post-fertilizer lawn mowing timelines.
3. Watch for Weed Growth
Some lawns deal with crabgrass, dandelions, thistles, and other weeds. Natural Way Lawn offers a pre-emergent crabgrass treatment to prevent weed growth before it starts. Other fertilizers will eradicate weeds while strengthening your grass at the same time. After applying the appropriate fertilizer, the weeds may take several days or weeks to fully wither. If you notice weeds that are not going away after a few weeks, contact our team, and we will address the issue at no extra cost.
4. Monitor the Health of Your Grass
Watch how your grass responds to the fertilizer after it has been applied. While it can take several days or weeks to see the full results of the fertilizer, look for areas that are responding well to the treatment. If brown or bare patches do not change after a certain amount of time, there may be other factors involved. Fertilizer does not usually address disease, pests, or soil issues, so you may need to treat those problems separately. We can assist with applying fungicides and pesticides, along with aerating your soil.
5. Set a Future Fertilization Schedule
Lawns usually require fertilization several times throughout the year. Depending on whether your lawn is struggling with issues like disease or pests, you may need to fertilize more often. Our team helps you select an appropirate fertilization package. We offer organic-based, mineral-based, and herbicide-free fertilizers. Determine if you are trying to grow your lawn and target weeds or reduce chemical dependence before selecting a package. Natural Way lawn monitors your grass development to make sure your chosen package meets your expectations.
