While lawn fertilizing is important to the overall health of your lawn, sometimes there is more corrective action needed to bring your lawn back into a healthy and manageable state. Our regular lawn care programs are comprehensive and tailored to your individual lawn so we can achieve the best results.
In addition to lawn fertilizing we also recommend lawn aeration which helps develop a healthy root system so your grass can benefit from lawn fertilizing.

After viewing your property and determining the type of grass you have along with the soil conditions, we can come up with a lawn fertilizing plan that will be effective.
What Kind Of Lawn Fertilizing Do You Actually Need?
Like all plants, your lawn thrives on the elements NPK. This stands for Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium. Your grass requires these elements and many other trace elements in varying amounts throughout the year.
Nitrogen is important for leaf and stem growth, as well as the overall health and green color of the grass. Phosphorus helps with root growth and helps the grass to recover from stress, such as drought, disease, or mowing. Potassium helps with overall plant health and disease resistance.
In addition to these primary nutrients, lawns also benefit from secondary nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and sulfur. These nutrients are typically present in the soil in sufficient quantities, but may need to be supplemented if the soil is deficient.
Fertilizer isn’t just a one time thing either… If you want a healthy looking lawn then it needs to be fed regularly usually in 4-6 week intervals for the best results. There are literally thousands of lawn fertilizing products on the market but there are only a select few that work exceptionally well in Illinois.
