Natural Yard Fertilization

Your yard can be treated with organic fertilizer or inorganic compound fertilizer designed to penetrate the soil and improve overall grass health while providing necessary mineral supplementation. Top growth is important, but not at the expense of root growth or carbohydrate storage. A strong root system is the pinnacle of a healthy lawn, and there are three essential elements that it cannot go without - carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Additional required mineral nutrients can be classified as either "macro-" or "micro-" nutrients. Macronutrients consist of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). Their roles impact grass growth, chlorophyll development, and protein synthesis, among others. Fertilizer bags will often include the letters NPK, followed by corresponding numbers to signify the concentration of these important ingredients. Not all plants or lawns require the same level of macronutrients, so studying and applying the label correctly can mean the difference between lush and lame. There are a number of ways to do unintentional damage to your yard when applying fertilizer inappropriately. Most commonly, overfertilization leads to an increase of nitrogen and salt concentration which manifests in yellow to brown strips or patches of dead grass. How do you know what your yard needs? In order to determine nutritional requirements for your turf, a soil test is recommended. Soil tests reveal a number of important characteristics about your yard including current macronutrient levels, alkalinity, acidity, and Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC).

Slow-Release Nitrogen Fertilizer

There are numerous benefits to slow-release formulations compared to quick. For one, they are designed to promote a more uniform growth pattern for your yard. The risk of turf burning is less, and their duration lasts 6-8 weeks or longer, necessitating fewer application cycles. However, there are downsides of slow-release nitrogen. As opposed to quick-release, nutrients are not as readily available for your soil and grass bed, they tend to cost more and they do not work as effectively in lower-temperature soil. Irrigation requirements tend to be higher during warm months, and overwatered soil can speed up the release of fertilizer components. Organic Fertilizer and Coated/Slowly-Soluble Fertilizer​ are the two types of slow-release formulations.

Quick-Release Nitrogen Fertilizer

When it comes to making nutrients available as quickly as possible, your best bet is to go with a quick-release nitrogen formulation. What makes this fertilizer different is the water-soluble nitrogen becomes readily available the moment your irrigation system kicks on or it rains. Quick-release fertilizers promote rapid shoot growth and greening of your lawn. Their duration of action is short - usually 2-4 weeks - and if used incorrectly, can cause burning to the grass. Residential fertilizer services may incorporate this type of top dressing should your yard need a quick boost in nutrition.

Coated or Slowly-Soluble Fertilizer

Coated fertilizers are dependent on the temperature and soil moisture for the proper release of nutrients. Often in pellet form, slowly-soluble fertilizers have a protective coating prevents nutrients from leeching out too quickly. Similar to an extended-release medication, lawn nutrients are encapsulated and dispersed throughout the surrounding soil over a longer duration (up to 12 months). These types of fertilizer are known for providing good color and growth to your grass. As with slow-release nitrogen, nutrients may not be readily available for grass in immediate need of nutritional support. Give us a call today and our certified turf technicians will give you an estimate for your job!

Organic Fertilizer

In order for fertilizer to be considered organic, the components must be derived from all-natural sources including animal mater and vegetable matter. In nature, soil is teeming with microbes and fungi that slowly release material that grass can use for food. In the same way, organic fertilizers promote the growth of organisms while supplementing with natural nutrients, rather than chemicals. An additive found in many products today is gypsum. Gypsum improves soil integrity by loosening soil, fostering root growth and enriching with calcium and sulfur. Organic fertilizer is a great option for Fishers lawns, providing easily digestible nutrition that is plant and environment-friendly.
