If you have ever been in the lawn and garden section of a home improvement or big box store, you have probably noticed the overwhelming number of lawn fertilization products available on the shelves. If you don’t have much experience in the area of lawn fertilization, it can be hard to figure out what product your lawn needs, and if you choose incorrectly, your lawn might actually end up in worse shape than it started.
Lawn fertilization is one thing best left to the professionals, and here are some reasons why:
- Specialized knowledge: A professional will know which products are safe and effective. They will know how much of each product to use, the best time to use it, and how to store it safely between uses.
- Get the best results: Getting lush grass requires the right nutritional balance and the correct maintenance schedule. There are many different types of grass, and these things vary depending on the type of grass you have, the weather, and many other factors.
- Keeping everything balanced: There are many minerals that must be balanced to achieve an optimum lawn, including nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, sulfur, and calcium. Many people end up overfertilizing if they try to do it themselves.
