Symptoms of Over-Fertilizing your Lawn

I Over Fertilized my Lawn What Should I do Now?

Fertilizer is used on lawns to provide supplemental nutrients that grass needs to grow in faster and thicker. It’s the most effective on soil that is deficient in nutrients because it contains high levels of nitrogen which promotes quick top growth and phosphorus that aids in root growth. Most fertilizers also contain potassium which helps keep your lawn healthy and disease-resistant.

All these nutrients together are exactly what your grass needs to stay healthy, however the amount of nutrients you provide will determine your lawn’s overall health. Both fertilizing at the wrong time and over-fertilizing can hurt both your lawn and your wallet. Which is why it’s important to understand the effects of over fertilization and learn proper fertilizing techniques.

Transitioning Your Lawn for Spring

You might have noticed that the temperatures have been in the high 90’s in Arizona, and have even hit the 100’s in California!  No one wants to see that in late March unless you’re a sod producer or looking to get your warm season lawn to green up. While it is great for lawn color, it is still too early to know if this weather will stay or if we will get a minor cold snap. If we were assured that the 90’s were here to stay I would tell you to really start pushing your warm season turf, but it is best to ease into the season until soil temperatures reach 64 degrees.

Either way, transition time is upon us and it is time to start easing into the summer grass season. For people with non-overseeded turf this weather is great news for their lawn, and for others transition can bring a few headaches. I have outlined some simple steps to help you get your lawn to go from ryegrass to bermudagrass without any anxiety.
