Fertilization Rome GA

We offer fertilization Rome Ga.  Fertilization is an important part of overall lawn health and color, but needs to be done correctly. A soil test is preferred for our fertilization program, so we can make an educated decision on what type of fertilizer to apply. We can also determine soil pH, which can tell us if a lime application may be needed, and even what type of lime to apply. Time of year and grass type are also factors in determining fertilizer application needs. We primarily use slow release homogenous fertilizers to contribute to a long lasting green color and minimize an undesirable surge in growth of your lawn.

Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium are the primary nutrients required for Turf and are included in most fertilizers. There also “Micronutrients” such as Iron, Manganese and Zinc. They are required in much smaller quantities, but aid in the effective use of the primary nutrients and can contribute to a dark green color in Turf.

We use accurate methods of application, ensuring uniform coverage and environmental safety. Overfertilization is not desired. Excess Nitrogen and Phosphorus can runoff and pollute water sources. Also, if too much Nitrogen is applied to your lawn, excess growth can result. The result is the homeowner can’t keep up with the mowing, leading to scalping and an excess of clippings.

A growing trend in the turf management world is the addition of organics to a balanced program. We also offer these “Organic Enhancement” options. Extract from organic matter is applied in a spray solution, which stimulates microbial activity and improves soil structure, in turn benefitting the grass plant.
