What is fertilizer? What does it do?

Fertilization ensures a solid foundation of deep root systems while boosting blade thickness and color. Proper results will diminish weeds as your grass grows stronger. Your healthy grass will be more resilient to disease. In Kansas City, fertilizing is needed to help your grass roots grow strong enough to endure the harsh winters and extreme drought summers. Without that extra strength, your grass does not stand a chance.

How many times do I need fertilizer?

For Kansas City fertilizing, there are 7 recommended applications a year. Each one has different qualities to help your lawn grow in that particular season. Slow release is used to spread out the amount that is getting to the grass at one time. Other applications are more immediate to affect the grass right away in tough times.

What are the credentials for applying fertilizer?

The law changes from state to state, but in most states the company or a person in the company needs to hold a license for fertilizer application. If they do not, then they need to outsource the service to someone who does. The person who holds the license should always be within a phone call distance of the applicator. Once again the laws change from state to state. Check with your local company to make sure they are up to state standards before hiring them.

All of this is just basic information about Kansas City fertilizer. For more information contact a local lawn care company for a full lawn assessment on what is best for your lawn.
