About Plant Fertilization
4
Fertilizing is an important step in maintaining
the health of our plants and for keeping invasive
plants at bay. In order to grow and thrive,
plants need essential nutrients typically found
in the soil. But sometimes our soils are
depletedwhether due to neighboring plants, poor
soil quality, or other factorsand are therefore
unable to provide plants the nourishment they
need. Fertilizers can fill this void. Comprised
of varying proportions of the macro nutrients
nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus, as well as
other secondary and micro nutrients, they can
properly feed your plants to ensure their
vitality and survival.

The Key Benefits
A fertilization program led by a landscape
professional takes the guesswork out of
determining how and when to treat your plants.
The knowledge and experience that they bring to
the table will help avoid common problems such as
burned foliage or ineffective applications. With
so many types to choose from, fertilizing is
often best left to a professional who can
determine not only the right nutrients for your
plants, but other critical factors such as
application rates, the ideal season and weather
in which to fertilize, and in what form to apply
them.

Keeping up with your lawn can be challenging,
especially as the seasons change. While
maintenance requirementsmay lighten during the
cooler months, there is still plenty to do year
round to keep your yard looking its best.
Therefore, it is crucial that homeowners
understand their propertys landscaping needs,
from watering to mowing. Here are just a few tips
to help you maintain a beautiful lawn throughout
the seasons

Tip 1. Fertilize at least three times per year
Your lawn requires regular fertilization at least
three times a year to ensure vigorous growth that
can combat weeds. Consult with your lawn care
specialist or local hardware store to determine
the right type of fertilizer for your lawn, as
well as the best way to use it.

Tip 2. Water the right way
Watering isnt as straightforward as one may
believe.It is easy to over water your lawn if you
dont understand whats ailing it, or it can
quickly dry it out if you fail to maintain a
watering schedule. A good rule to follow is to
water your lawn three to five times a week during
the hot and dry seasons and then water according
to rainfall during the winter months. Pay
attention to zones, as well. Be sure to water
each area for no more than twelve minutes if you
have a rotating water system, and less time with
manual watering.

Tip 3. Consider Edging to Improve Landscaping
Edging is the only way to maintain an effective
separation between your bed areas and your turf.
A gas powered edger is best, but a weed eater
held vertically can help achieve the same effect.
