Help Your Lawn Blossom

Why Does My Lawn Need Fertilizer?

Lawn grasses live in what is essentially an unnatural environment; the grass plants are crowded together in a lawn and compete with each other, as well as neighboring trees and shrubs, for water and nutrients. They are also mowed regularly, and their clippings are often removed. Because of this competition and the unnatural demands placed on your lawn, your grass plants crave fertilization.

Just as a balanced diet works best for people and animals, the same is true of lawns. They need fertilizer for sustenance, applied in a way that nourishes the grass all summer long. When properly fertilized, a lawn will maintain a bright green color, density, and vigor and will not easily succumb to insects, weeds, or diseases. If under fertilized, the lawn becomes thin, weak, shallow-rooted, pale, patchy, and is much more susceptible to weeds, insects, disease, wear, environmental stress, and damage.
