The Science Behind Fertilizing Our Knoxville Landscaping Company fertilizing experts understand the benefits of each type of mixture, and know how to match each product up to each individual lawn for excellent results every time. Lawn fertilizer is made up of three primary nutrients, including potassium, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Potassium promotes better resistance to drought and disease, while nitrogen encourages grass to grow faster and greener. Phosphorus helps to stimulate seedling development and deeper root growth. Each type of fertilizer has the amount of each of these primary nutrients on the package. Our team will also determine how much fertilizer to use based on the square footage of your yard and the nutritional needs of your turf. In addition to what type and how much fertilizer to use, you’ll also need to fertilize your lawn on a proper schedule. The timing of fertilization treatments is important if you’re looking to achieve a green, thriving lawn. To determine when to fertilize your yard, you must take into account the release rate of nitrogen to ensure that your yard receives a constant supply of nitrogen. Our Knoxville Landscaping Company team can do all your fertilization so you don't have to worry about it! Key Benefits of Lawn Fertilizing Fertilizer has numerous benefits for your lawn, starting with its rich nutrient content. In many cases, grass can suffer if there is not enough nutrients in the soil. Soil that is lacking nutrients can result in brown grass, bare or thin patches, or grass that is highly susceptible to insect infestations and disease. Without fertilization, grass is unlikely to grow full, lush, and green. However, it’s important to know exactly how much fertilizer to use to achieve optimal results. When too much fertilizer is used, thatch can buildup which harbors large populations of insects and other disease-carrying organisms. On the other end of the spectrum, too much fertilizer can have a negative environmental impact, causing possible aquatic and algae plants to grow due to runoff. Our fertilizing experts use a slow-release product to ensure that your lawn gets the nutrients it needs consistently over a period of time, which reduces the risk of disease, infestation, and thatch buildup.
