Fertilization

Homeowners and businesses come to us with questions about when it’s best to fertilize their lawn and whether it is best to aerate right after fertilizing? Aerating a lawn allows water, oxygen (vital for all living things), and fertilizers to get deep into the lawn’s surface and down to the grass roots. We recommend fertilizing your lawn right after aeration has occurred. 

Bill’s Lawn Maintenance and Landscaping will work with you to ensure that you aerate your lawn at the proper time and our team of professionals will fertilize it immediately after aeration (when holes are fresh and clear of any debris). Aerating your lawn generally leads to a healthier one as it improves drainage, minimizes weed growth and prevents your soil from compacting. We have both manual and powered aerator equipment available and recommend north-facing grass aerating in early fall and southern-facing grass aerating in last spring, early summer.
