If you’re a new homeowner in Indiana, you might not yet be fully accustomed to caring for a lawn. You may think you can skip things like watering and fertilization, and just let nature do its thing. However, our team at
Green Works Lawn Care is here to tell you that, if you want a lawn to be proud of, it’s going to take some work. Read on to take advantage of our expertise and learn why
lawn fertilization is beneficial and necessary for a healthy lawn.
1. Improve Soil Quality
The first step towards a healthy lawn is high quality soil, and the best way to achieve that is to use a fertilizer on your lawn. Over time, your soil naturally loses many of the important nutrients it needs to support lawn growth. If you really want a lush, green lawn, you’re going to need to replace those nutrients. Fertilizer replaces and replenishes the essentials your lawn needs for a great look.
2. Prevent Weed Growth
A thick, healthy lawn creates a natural resistance to weed growth. Those stubborn weeds have a much harder time taking root and spreading in a yard that has a healthy, thick growth of grass. But occasionally, those persistent weeds may call for specific weed killer applications; however, a well-fertilized yard will cause a drastic reduction of weed growth.
3. Strengthen Root System
Finally, lawn fertilization will also strengthen the root system of your grass, allowing it to absorb water quickly during heavy rains. This will help reduce flooding and muddy spots in the yard. Without a properly fertilized lawn, the grass will lose its healthy, lush, green appearance and will begin turning brown as the Indiana summer sun heats up.
