Fertilizing Services FAQ

Why is lawn fertilization important?
Fertilization provides your lawn with essential nutrients that promote healthy growth, stronger roots, and vibrant color. It also helps your grass resist pests, disease, and drought. Regular fertilizing ensures your yard stays lush and green throughout the growing season.
How often should I fertilize my lawn in Conway, SC?
In Conway’s warm climate, we recommend fertilizing four times per year—spring, early summer, late summer, and fall. This schedule supports year-round grass health and combats seasonal stress.
What types of fertilizer do you use?
We use high-quality, professional-grade fertilizers tailored to your lawn’s specific needs, including slow-release and organic options. Each application is customized based on soil condition, grass type, and season.
Is fertilization safe for children and pets?
Yes. We use eco-friendly, pet-safe fertilizers. For best safety, we advise keeping children and pets off the treated lawn for at least 24 hours, depending on the product used.
Do you offer organic fertilization?
Absolutely. We provide organic fertilization options that use natural ingredients to promote healthy growth without synthetic chemicals. It’s a great choice for eco-conscious homeowners and families.
Will fertilizing help control weeds?
Yes. A healthy, thick lawn from regular fertilizing naturally crowds out weeds. We also offer fertilization with pre-emergent weed control to prevent common weeds before they grow.
Can fertilization fix bare or patchy spots in my lawn?
Fertilization improves overall lawn health but won’t regrow grass in completely bare areas. We recommend pairing it with overseeding or sod installation for best results.
What happens if I over-fertilize my lawn?
Over-fertilizing can damage your grass, causing yellowing, burning, or excessive growth. That’s why professional application is key—we apply the right amount at the right time.
When is the best time to fertilize in the spring?
Early spring—once your grass starts actively growing—is ideal. This gives your lawn a strong start and prepares it for the warm summer months ahead.
Do you test soil before fertilizing?
Yes, we offer soil testing to assess nutrient levels and pH balance. This allows us to customize your fertilization plan for optimal lawn health and growth.
How long does it take to see results after fertilizing?
Most customers notice greener grass within 1–2 weeks. Full results, including thicker growth and weed reduction, may take 3–6 weeks depending on your lawn’s condition.
Do you offer fertilization as a standalone service?
Yes, we offer one-time fertilization or seasonal packages. Whether you need a single treatment or ongoing care, we have flexible plans to fit your needs and budget.
Will fertilizing help with pest problems?
Healthy, fertilized lawns are more resistant to pests. While fertilization itself doesn’t kill insects, it strengthens your grass to better withstand pest stress. We also offer pest control services.
Can I fertilize my lawn myself?
DIY fertilizing is possible, but timing and application rates are tricky. Mistakes can damage your lawn. Hiring professionals ensures proper products, timing, and safety every time.
