Proper fertilization is complicated. Express can help make it simple. Healthy lawns depend on many factors including adequate water, sunlight and carbon dioxide, and oxygen. Lawn growth also depends on nutrients or essential elements absorbed from the soil. When natural soil processes do not provide these, fertilizer can be applied to maintain optimum lawn growth.

The purpose of fertilizing a lawn is to add the necessary nutrients in the required amounts and at the proper time to achieve desirable lawn qualities and healthy plants. Express will help to develop and follow fertilizer program to promote a healthy lawn.

How We Schedule Landscape Fertilization

Our fertilization scheduling is a carefully planned process designed to provide your Brainerd, MN, lawn with the precise nutrients it needs at the optimal times throughout the growing season to encourage healthy growth, vibrant color, and resilience. We tailor our fertilization schedules based on a thorough assessment of your lawn's specific requirements and the unique climate conditions of the local area. This is how we schedule your lawn fertilization:

• Initial Lawn Assessment - We evaluate your lawn, considering factors such as grass type, soil condition, existing nutrient levels, and any specific issues like weed pressure or thin areas
• Soil Testing (Optional but Recommended) - For the most accurate approach, we can conduct a soil test to determine the exact nutrient deficiencies and pH levels, allowing us to create a highly targeted fertilization plan
• Seasonal Considerations - We factor in the different nutritional needs of your lawn during spring (to promote vigorous growth after winter), summer (to maintain health and stress tolerance), and fall (to build strong roots for winter survival)
• Product Selection - Based on the assessment and soil test results, we select the most appropriate high-quality fertilizers with the right balance of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as any necessary micronutrients
• Application Timing - We schedule fertilization treatments at strategic times that coincide with key growth cycles and environmental conditions in Brainerd, ensuring maximum nutrient uptake and effectiveness
• Consideration of Other Treatments - We coordinate fertilization with other lawn care services, such as weed control and aeration, to optimize overall lawn health and avoid potential conflicts between treatments
• Communication and Transparency - We inform you about our fertilization schedule and the products we will use, ensuring you understand the process and its benefits for your lawn
• Adjustments as Needed - We continuously monitor your lawn's response to our fertilization program and adjust the schedule or products to achieve the best possible results throughout the season
• Professional Application - Our trained technicians ensure precise and even fertilizer application to avoid over- or under-fertilizing areas and maximize the effectiveness of each treatment
