  • What is the best time of year to fertilize a lawn in Massachusetts and New Hampshire?

    Spring and fall are typically the most important seasons for fertilizing. Early spring promotes green-up, while fall applications strengthen roots before winter.
  • How long does it take for fertilizer to work?

    In our experience, most customers notice greener grass within one to two weeks after fertilizing, depending on weather and lawn conditions.
  • Is lawn fertilizer safe for children and pets?

    Yes. Once the product has dried and settled into the lawn, which is typically a few hours after fertilizing, it is generally safe for children and pets to return to the yard.
  • Do I need to water after fertilization?

    Some treatments benefit from watering, while others do not. Your technician will provide specific instructions tailored to your lawn after fertilizing.
  • Should I seed after I fertilize?

    As long as a crabgrass prevention treatment has not been applied, you can seed anytime after fertilizing.
  • How much does lawn fertilization cost?

    Cost is based on your lawn's square footage and complexity. We use top-of-the-line landscape software to accurately determine your yard's dimensions and the exact cost of fertilizing it. We are available to schedule an appointment and provide you with a custom estimate.
