Why should you put your lawn on a fertilization program?

There are many reasons why fertilizing your lawn on a scheduled program is beneficial:

1. Convenience: A lawn fertilization program takes the responsibility of fertilizing your lawn off your shoulders, so you don't have to worry about remembering to do it yourself or hiring someone else to do it.
2. Growth: Like all plants, grass needs a balance of certain nutrients in order to grow and stay healthy. Fertilization can help to ensure that your lawn is getting the right balance of nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
3. Enhanced color: Fertilization can help to keep your lawn green and healthy, resulting in a more vibrant and attractive appearance.
4. Disease and pest control: A healthy lawn is less susceptible to diseases and pests, so fertilization can help to prevent or reduce problems with these issues.
5. Cost-effective: Ready, Set, Mow offers package prices, which can be more cost-effective than paying for individual services.
6. Time-saving: Signing up for our lawn fertilization program saves you the time and effort of having to research and purchase the right type of fertilizer, and apply it at the right time.

When and how often should I fertilize my lawn?

We are in a cooler climate in Utah, so the best time to fertilize your lawn depends on the type of grass you have.

Cool-season grasses, such as Kentucky bluegrass, Fine fescue, and Rye grass, are common in Utah and should be fertilized in the fall, typically between September and November, and again in the spring, typically between April and May, when the grass is actively growing.

It's also important to always water the lawn after fertilizing to ensure that the nutrients are better absorbed by the roots.

What are the risks if I don't fertilize my lawn?

At Ready, Set, Mow!, we know the importance of fertilizing your lawn. Without the necessary nutrients, your lawn may struggle to grow and become unhealthy, leading to a patchy, thin, or brown appearance. An unhealthy lawn is also more susceptible to pests and diseases, which can quickly spread and cause even more damage. A lack of fertilization can also lead to soil compaction and environmental problems, such as runoff, soil erosion, and water pollution. With our fertilization services, you can avoid these risks and ensure that your lawn stays healthy, strong, and beautiful, while also maintaining its value and appearance.
