WHY FERTILIZE LAWNS?
To keep your lawn green, growing and looking its
best, a consistent program of fertilization is
essential. Regular fertilization will lead to a thicker,
healthier lawn that reduces erosion, filters
pollutants, provides naturally cooling and cleans the
air. Plus, your lawn will be less likely to suffer from
weed, insect and disease problems when it's
fertilized on a regular basis. And perhaps best of
all, your lawn will need less water when it gets the
nutrients it need throughout the year.
