Lawn Fertilization Service in Lockwood Glen, Cool Springs, TN

Most homeowners in Lockwood Glen think they need expensive soil tests and a cocktail of different nutrients to fix a thinning lawn. They see a recommendation for zinc or phosphorus and start buying bags of fertilizer that don't actually address the root issue. That is a waste of your money. In Middle Tennessee, phosphorus levels are already pegged in the red; adding more is just asking for algae blooms in your HOA ponds.

My approach is simpler and more effective because it focuses on what your grass actually needs. Fescue is almost always at a nitrogen deficit. If it has nitrogen available, it will use it. I don't chase every minor deficiency suggested by a lab report. Instead, I focus on nitrogen and a critical, overlooked element: sulfur. Because of changes in diesel emissions over the last decade, sulfur deficiency has become a real problem. I solve two problems at once by using ammonium sulfate as a nitrogen source, which provides the sulfur your soil is likely missing. I also use sulfate of potash in the early spring to provide potassium without the risk of hurting your lawn quality. I pull soil samples at signup just to ensure I'm picking the right nitrogen source for your specific property, but I don't let a piece of paper dictate a wasteful chemistry plan. If your lawn isn't performing, I adjust my nitrogen rates in the field until it does.
