Seattle Summer fertilizer application

As summer approaches in Seattle, homeowners face the challenge of keeping their lawns lush and healthy. The right fertilizer application can make a world of difference. By applying a summer fertilizer, you can enhance the curb appeal of your property, ensure safety for your family and pets, support eco-friendly practices, and enjoy a low-maintenance yard. Let’s dive into the details of a successful summer fertilizer application.

Description & Benefits

What the Service Includes

A summer fertilizer application involves several tasks that help your lawn thrive during the warmer months. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Soil Testing: Assessing the nutrient levels and pH of your soil to determine the best type of fertilizer.
  • Fertilizer Selection: Choosing a slow-release, organic fertilizer that will nourish your lawn over time.
  • Application: Evenly distributing the fertilizer across your lawn using a spreader to ensure coverage.
  • Watering: Ensuring the lawn is watered adequately after application to help the fertilizer penetrate the soil.

Key Benefits

  • Enhanced Appearance: A well-fertilized lawn looks vibrant, lush, and healthy, significantly boosting your property’s curb appeal.
  • Durability: Fertilization strengthens grass roots, making your lawn more resilient to drought and foot traffic.
  • Safety: Using eco-friendly fertilizers minimizes harmful chemicals that could affect your family and pets.
  • Eco-Friendly: Organic fertilizers are sustainable, promoting a healthier ecosystem in your yard.
