Lawn Fertilization Service in Falcon Creek, Cool Springs, TN

If you live in Falcon Creek, you have likely seen neighbors pouring expensive "starter fertilizers" or weed and feed products onto their lawns, only to see the local HOA ponds turn green with algae. That happens because phosphorus is off the charts in Middle Tennessee. You do not need to add more phosphorus to your yard. In fact, applying it is a direct path to killing the fish in your neighborhood ponds. Most people think they need a soil test before every application, but for turf grass, that is patently false. Your fescue is almost always at a nitrogen deficit. If nitrogen is available, the plant will use it until it practically kills itself.

My approach is different. I focus on nitrogen and the overlooked fourth macronutrient: sulfur. Because our local pH is high and sulfur deposition has dropped significantly since the EPA cleaned up diesel emissions, I use smart sourcing. I utilize ammonium sulfate to provide both nitrogen and sulfur in one shot. I also apply a small, calculated amount of potassium at the tail end of winter when research shows it actually provides a benefit. I pull soil samples for all my clients during the first spring to standardize my data and help me choose the best nitrogen source for your specific soil. If your grass still looks wrong after a calibrated nitrogen application, that is when we look at the science. I don't guess, and I don't waste your money on unnecessary nutrients.
