If you're a new homeowner, you might not yet be fully accustomed to caring for a lawn. You may think you can skip things like watering and fertilizer, and just let nature do its thing. However, our team at {{company_name}}® is here to tell you that, if you want a lawn to be proud of, it's going to take some work. Read on to take advantage of our expertise and learn why lawn fertilization is beneficial and necessary for a healthy lawn.


Fertilizer is Important

Weed Prevention

Stopping pesky weeds before they start means a better-looking lawn and less hassle for you. Proper lawn fertilization and maintenance can keep weeds at bay. Our select lawn care program is one-of-a-kind in the industry. To improve soil health, we use a trademark mix of essential grass plant nutrients, high quality weed controls, and organic and biological products.

Pest Control

Want to avoid a grub or beetle infestation? Lawn fertilization helps discourage lawn pests from making your grass their home. However, we not only care about keeping pests at bay, but also about strengthening your trees, shrubs, and plants by building healthy soil and utilizing the vascular system of the plant. That's why we never spray insecticides into flowering trees or shrubs.

Feed the Roots

One of the most visible benefits to fertilization is a green, healthy lawn. You might compare lawn fertilization to super foods. Like kale or blueberries for the body, fertilizer gives your lawn the nutrients it needs to be at its best. A strong, healthy lawn is greener and better able to withstand the ever-changing North Carolina weather.

At {{company_name}}®, our program is formulated to give the best agronomic results possible while also controlling most weeds. Generally, our lawns are slower to go into dormancy and quicker to green up in the spring. Want to help the process along?
