Fall fertilization has the biggest impact on lawns



Its time for the most important lawn application of the year, Fall Fertilizer!  Fall fertilization is probably the most important application of the year for a premium lawn.  Fall fertilizers are high in readily available nitrogen that the turf roots can absorb immediately and store throughout the winter months as the plant goes dormant.  When the first warmth of spring arrives this stored nitrogen enables the plant to "pop" and explode out of dormancy with dark green leaf growth.  The green leaf grows begins producing carbohydrates through photosynthesis and begins food production for the turf plant, while your neighbors lawn is still hibernating.   If you haven't already applied your fall fertilizer or had Lawn Doctor's expert technician apply it for you there is still time to get this application down before its too late.  Contact Lawn Doctor today to find out more about this vital step in your lawn's health plan or to schedule your plan today!
