Fertilizer in Kansas City is not a hidden secret. It is however, the make or break ingredient for a large amount of residential lawn care. The understanding of the chemicals is what creates a green lush lawn all year round verse just a splash of this and that when you feel like it throughout the year. This article will detail out all the treatments needed for fertilizer in Kansas City and why you need them.

Overall there are 7 fertilizer treatments recommended for the area. Each one has a unique use for that time of year. Keep in mind that fertilizer should not be applied when the wind is above 12-14 MPH for liquid chemicals pending their chemical balance. This ensures the area and applicator are safe. Always use a professional chemical applicator when applying any chemicals to your property. 

7 Treatments

Early spring application: To help the lawn recover from winter and improve color.

Late spring application: Slow release fertilizer to prepare lawn for summer.

Grub application: Preventative grub control (performed at the same time as the Summer Application).

Summer application: Helps lawn retain color from spring.

Early fall application: Promotes lush color.

Late fall application: Repairs damaged/stressed turf.

Winterizer: Provides food to the lawn during the winter. This promotes earlier spring green-up and a healthy root system.

Why?

Each of these applications is applied in a certain season for a reason. The winterizer fertilizer does not have the same effect in the summer as it does in the winter. It is important that the right balance is applied for the weather conditions. Do not attempt to apply your own chemicals without the proper education and training.
