The Importance Of Lawn Fertilization

Your lawn needs to be fed certain nutrients in order to survive. The soil under your lawn actually contains the same nutrients that can be found in our fertilizers, but any number of environmental factors can lead to poor soil conditions and less nutrients. This is where Heartland Turf & Landscape comes in with premium fertilization services for Olathe! Healthy levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients are introduced at various stages of our fertilization program to replace any natural nutrients that get lost to soil erosion, weeds, lawn disease, etc. With our fertilizer treatments, your lawn will stay nourished, and you can forget all about any unsightly bare spots.

‍

The Importance Of Weed Control

Weed control is always most effective when it is paired with fertilization treatments. Without weed control, much of the nutritional value of fertilizers could be lost to any emerged or dormant weeds that may already be in your lawn. Weeds that are allowed to grow freely will steal all the nutrients of our fertilizers, which means less nutrition for your grass and more bare spots and thinning turf. Our technicians are trained in the best methods and are provided with the most effective products to eradicate weeds from your property and make sure your lawn can grow to its full potential.

We are confident that our 7 treatments can and will provide you with some of the best fertilization and weed control services in Olathe!

Treatment 1 – A slow-release spring fertilizer is applied early in the year to help wake up your lawn from its winter nap and stimulate root growth.

Treatment 2 – Any weeds that went dormant over winter will be treated with a pre-emergent, and existing weeds, such as dandelions, clovers, thistles, etc., will be treated also.

Treatment 3 – Additional broadleaf herbicides are used during this visit, and a balanced fertilizer is applied to carry your lawn through the end of spring.

Treatments 4 & 5 – The summer heat can be a killer. So, we apply a slow-release summer fertilizer twice in the season, which is designed to withstand the summer conditions. We also spot spray any existing weeds.

Treatment 6 – At this stage, typically early to mid fall, we will focus on controlling broadleaf weeds and reducing the spread of seeds between now and the following spring.

Treatment 7 – Our winterization treatment is our final application of the year, and it is designed to keep your lawn nourished and in good shape through winter and ready to burst to life early in the next growing season!
