Fertilizing Your Lawn

If you’re thinking about fertilizing your lawn, you need to make sure you know what you’re doing. With all lawn care, there is a time and season for everything. At J&D Lawn Service, our skilled technicians have the knowledge and experience to evaluate your specific lawn care needs and treat your lawn accordingly.

When fertilizing your lawn, you first need to consider the type of grass you have. Warm-season grass, like the Bermuda grass many of us have here in Arizona this time of year, grows quickly as the weather starts to heat up. As a general rule, you need to feed Bermuda grass from late spring to early fall. So, we are now at the beginning of the time when fertilizing your lawn is a good idea. If you fertilize too early in the spring, the nitrogen may promote the rapid growth of weeds. If you fertilize too late in the fall, your grass will be less hardy and more prone to damage in the winter months.

So, how often should you be fertilizing your grass? That all depends on how much time you want to spend and how you want your grass to look. If you want your lawn to stay looking green and well cared for, then you should be fertilizing roughly every 6-8 weeks. But you need to know how to fertilize properly for maximum results.
