Why is the grass always greener on the other side of the fence? Maybe because your neighbor uses Greenview Fairway Formula Spring Fertilizer 26-4-12!The “why,” “when” and “how” of fertilizing your lawn can be confusing, and you may have questions as you gaze across your starving turf. So why should you fertilize your lawn?

There is a better reason to fertilize than “green grass envy.” Fertilizing is an important regular lawn maintenance practice, just as vitamins and regular exercise are important for your own physical well-being. Your lawn is a living, breathing wonder and fertilizing enhances the color of the grass, and strengthens it against disease, weeds, parasites and stress.  If you take your lawn for granted and neglect it, the weeds and brown spots are sure to appear.

That is the question!

Early in the spring, after a light raking, what was once a lush lawn may appear worn and matted. You might blame it on bugs. You might think it’s a disease, or that you didn’t water enough. You might even say to yourself with regret: “I should have fertilized with Weed & Feed products last fall.”

First of all, don’t worry about feeding and fertilizing.  You still have plenty of time to use our Greenview Fairway Formula Spring Fertilizer 26-4-12. Our home delivery service and annual lawn plan will ensure you receive your fertilizer and weed control products on time.  However, let’s not jump to conclusions yet.  This early, a knee-jerk reaction to your damaged lawn might cause you to overlook the real culprits: thatch and soil compaction.

Yes, that’s your lawn out there.  It’s a living thing.  And like any living thing, to thrive it needs food, water, and protection from disease and parasites. We at Greenview speak loudly on behalf of the good old American lawn. In fact we care so much that we use the same technology used on championship golf courses—promoting slow and steady growth of those delicate grass roots.
