It's fall and almost time for the most important fertilizer application of the year! A heavy application of nitrogen fertilizer to build a large food reserve for spring is one of the most important steps in your lawn care regimen. This will ensure earlier spring green-up, better-than-normal color, better rooting and tillering, and fewer spring diseases. If you have not already signed up for our fertilizer program, call us and we can still get you on the schedule for a winterizer application! See below for a coupon for savings in 2010! |

| Q & A Ask the landscaper
Q: Should I fertilize my shrubs this fall? When is the best time?
A: Yes! Shrubs can be fertilized in Spring or Fall, but Fall is ideal if possible. The best time to apply a fertilizer application to your shrubs is after they have gone dormant or lost all of their leaves. Evergreen shrubs would like a good fertilization best after a couple of hard freezes. The best advice is to wait later in the season and only fertilizer your shrubs once in a growing season so as not to overstimulate their growth. |
