Adequate fertilization is essential in helping your lawn reach its full potential.  Fertilizer will encourage new growth, generating a much lusher, thicker lawn.  It counteracts wear, helps prevent weeds and keeps your lawn looking its best.  An important tip to remember is that if grass is going to thicken, it needs to do so before mid-July.

Fertilization in early Spring will cause rapid proliferation, leading to thick, lush turf.  Apply the first application at about the time you first mow your lawn.

The total amount of plant food you use throughout the growing season should be based on soil type and turf condition.  For an accurate plant food prescription, obtain a LawnScience™ Lawn Soil Sample Kit from you LawnScience™ sales person.  A good rule of thumb is to apply 3 to 4 pounds of nitrogen per 1,000 sq. ft. per year.
