The Benefits of Professional Lawn Fertilization

Everybody wants a beautiful, well-maintained yard, and achieving that goal starts with professional lawn fertilization. Having a beautiful lawn can take time and effort, and busy homeowners may struggle to find enough time for detailed lawn care. Hiring a professional to fertilize your lawn will ensure it stays healthy and lush, providing the appropriate nutrients to the grass growing on your property. Let a landscape specialist take care of it for you, so you can improve your home’s curb appeal with the lawn of your dreams while focusing on other important aspects of your life. 

What is Professional Lawn Fertilization?

Professional lawn fertilization is the strategic application of specific blends of potassium, phosphorus, and other helpful additives that give plants the nutrients they need to grow healthy and strong. 

All lawns have unique requirements, and the experts at Arbor Nomics understand the different types of Atlanta native grass species, and what they need to thrive. We use the right mix of fertilizers at the right times of the year to encourage your lawn to be healthy and vibrant, and to stay resilient against disease, weeds and other environmental stressors. 

Is it Cheaper to Fertilize Your Own Lawn?

Is it cheaper to fertilize your own lawn? Although it may seem like it’s cheaper to fertilize your own lawn, it actually costs less to hire a lawn care professional. When you purchase a one-size-fits all fertilization product at a garden center, you’re likely not going to meet the specific needs of your lawn, whereas a professional can tailor a balanced application, considering the type of grass you have, the soil’s type, the time of year, and other factors to ensure your lawn gets what it needs to thrive.

When you choose Arbor Nomics in Atlanta, you won’t have to try to DIY lawn fertilizer yourself. We’ll take care of it for you and make sure your Fescue, Bermuda, or Zoysia grasses are healthy, green, and vibrant, and ready to weather the hot and humid Georgia summers as well as the short temperate winters.

Benefits of Professional Lawn Fertilization

Some benefits of hiring a professional include: 

Expertise and Knowledge

Many homeowners are surprised to learn that there are different types of grass, and different types of soil found within the diverse Georgia landscape. Lawn care professionals understand what methods will work best for each lawn, and can customize a fertilization plan to meet your yard’s specific needs.

Better Lawn Health 

Just as it’s possible to under-fertilize a lawn, it’s also possible to over-do it. Unlike most DIY lawn fertilizer attempts, an expert in lawn health will know how to give your grass an appropriate nutrient balance, so your grass grows strong, lush, and healthy. 

Consistent Results

When you hire Arbor Nomics to fertilize and care for your lawn, you can count on consistently beautiful grass, year-round. We know the best time to treat the grass, fertilize the soil, and take pest control measures, so you know you’ll always have the nicest looking lawn in the neighborhood. 

Convenience

Taking care of your lawn can take a lot of time and effort, especially if you’re aiming for a full, verdant look. Not only do you have to mow consistently to keep it looking trim and tidy, but you also have to weed carefully, water the grass, and spend time fertilizing the lawn. 

Even for people with plenty of time on their hands this amount of work can be a challenge, but for those with busy schedules, it can be a herculean effort, especially if you don’t have the equipment and supplies that go along with lawn care. Attempting to make some DIY lawn fertilizer can be very challenging, and it’s much more convenient to hire a lawn care pro to do it for you. 

Long-Term Cost Savings

One of the biggest expenses people face when trying to DIY their lawn care is fixing their mistakes. Homeowners may also miss signs of big problems like infestations or fungus, whereas if you have a professional coming by consistently, these issues will be detected early. A healthier lawn means less intervention required over time.

Even though hiring experts costs money, over time it’ll save you hundreds or thousands of dollars. At Arbor Nomics, we have all the appropriate equipment needed to efficiently and effectively maintain your lawn, with less waste and time spent working in the yard. 

Better for the Environment

At Arbor Nomics, we take care to use responsible practices to minimize our impact on the environment surrounding your home. We take care to prevent runoff erosion and drainage issues, so your vibrant lawn stays fertile and can contribute to a healthier local ecosystem.

Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal

When you hire a professional to take care of your lawn, you’ll see consistent growth and color, which will give your home better curb appeal and a more appealing aesthetic and increase your home’s value. In an article published in the Journal of Real Estate Finance and Economics, it was estimated that curb appeal can increase your property value by up to 7%, making it not only a way to improve the look of your home, but also increase the value.  

So, is it cheaper to fertilize your own lawn? Possibly, but the results are probably not going to be as effective or nice compared to when a professional is handling your lawn care.
