Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What should the fertilization timing for my lawn be in the Mile High City’s climate?

We recommend lawns be fertilized every 4 – 6 weeks

What is the best time of year to fertilize grass in Colorado?

We recommend fertilizing your lawn during the months of April, June, July, August and October

What’s the difference between synthetic and organic lawn fertilization?

Synthetic fertilizers are manufactured from synthetic compounds and minerals that deliver nutrients quickly resulting in a faster result of growth and color. Organic fertilizers are derived from organic material such as manure, compost, bone meal or plant matter. They stimulate beneficial soil microorganisms to improve the soil structure. Although the color and growth results may be slower with organic, it will help maintain lawn health over a long period of time.

Is lawn fertilization safe for kids and pets?

Yes it is.

How long does it take to see results after fertilization?

It can take about a week to see a color difference. If your lawn is in very bad health it may take a couple of applications to get it back to where it should be depending on the situation.

Do fertilization programs also control weeds?

Yes, we have a weed control treatment that we can include in your program. Some of our fertilization treatments include pre-emergent weed control programs.

Can lawn fertilization help with Denver’s clay-heavy soils?

Yes, the fertilizer will stimulate beneficial microorganisms and microbial activity over time to improve soil health which will make your lawn healthier!

What happens if I skip a season of fertilization?

Skipping a season of fertilization can allow weeds to take over the lawn and also promote drought stress in the lawn resulting in a lawn that may start to turn brown and look unhealthy.

How do I know which fertilization program is right for my lawn?

An arborist will assess the condition of your lawn and give their recommendation on what is best. It will also depend on preference of synthetic vs. organic fertilizers.

Will fertilization help with drought tolerance during Denver’s dry summers?

Yes it will! Our fertilizers often contain soil conditioners to allow water penetration in dry soils easier. We do still recommend making sure your lawn is getting enough water as well.

Do you offer one-time applications or only ongoing programs?

We can do a one time application if needed.

What additional treatments can improve lawn health besides fertilization?

Denver has seen a boom in Japanese beetles over the past couple of years so we offer a Japanese beetle grub control treatment in the spring to combat damage from grubs which will make the lawn healthier.

Can lawn fertilization prevent lawn diseases or pests?

Yes it can. However, if infestations are heavy, additional treatments may be needed. Cultural control such as fertilizing, watering correctly, and proper mowing is always the best solution to combating pests and diseases.

Do you provide free follow-up treatments if weeds return?

Yes, if signed up for the full lawn program.

How do your fertilization services differ from DIY store-bought products?

In addition to not having to deal with the hassle of doing the lawn care on your own, we are able to get commercial grade products that DIY products cannot be compared to.
