Lawn Fertilization Services
A healthy lawn starts with healthy soil. At Everett Lawn Care, we provide professional fertilization services that give your grass the nutrients it needs to grow strong, green, and resilient. Serving Raleigh, NC, and surrounding areas, our team delivers targeted treatments that support long-term lawn health and improve overall appearance.
Why Fertilization Is Essential for Lawn Health
Grass needs more than water and sunlight to thrive. Over time, soil loses nutrients due to weather, mowing, and natural use. Without proper fertilization, your lawn may:
- Develop thin or patchy areas
- Turn yellow or pale green
- Struggle to recover from foot traffic or drought
- Become more vulnerable to weeds and disease
Fertilization replenishes essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, helping your lawn grow thicker, greener, and more resistant to stress.
Our Fertilization Process
We take a strategic approach to fertilization, using the right products at the right time. Our process includes:
Lawn Evaluation—We assess your grass type, soil condition, and any visible issues.
Custom Plan – We create a fertilization schedule based on your lawn’s needs and the local climate.
Precision Application – We apply granular or liquid fertilizer evenly across your lawn.
Seasonal Adjustments – We adjust formulas and timing based on the time of year.
Follow-Up Care—We provide guidance on watering and mowing to maximize results.
Our goal is to build a strong root system and promote steady, healthy growth throughout the year.
Types of Fertilizer We Use
Different lawns require different nutrients. We use a variety of professional-grade fertilizers, including
- Slow-Release Fertilizer—Provides nutrients over time for consistent growth
- Starter Fertilizer – Ideal for new lawns or overseeding projects
- High-Nitrogen Blends – Boosts green color and leaf development
- Balanced Formulas – Supports root strength and overall health
- Seasonal Mixes – Tailored to spring, summer, or fall conditions
We select the right product based on your lawn’s condition and the time of year.
Fertilization Timing and Frequency
Timing is key to effective fertilization. In Raleigh, NC, we typically recommend:
- Early Spring – Jump-starts growth after winter dormancy
- Late Spring – Supports strong root development
- Summer – Maintains color and resilience during heat
- Early Fall – Prepares grass for cooler weather
- Late Fall – Strengthens roots before winter
Most lawns benefit from 4 to 6 applications per year, depending on grass type and soil health.
Signs Your Lawn Needs Fertilization
If you notice any of the following, it may be time to fertilize:
- Grass is pale, yellow, or slow-growing
- Bare patches are spreading.
- Weeds are becoming more common.
- Lawn feels thin or spongy underfoot
- Water runs off quickly instead of soaking in
We can evaluate your lawn and recommend the right treatment plan to restore its health.
Combine Fertilization With Other Services
Fertilization works best when paired with other lawn care practices. We recommend combining it with:
- Aeration—Improves soil structure and nutrient absorption
- Overseeding—Fills in bare spots and thickens turf
- Weed Control – Reduces competition for nutrients
- Mowing and Edging – Keeps your lawn neat and encourages even growth
We can bundle these services into a custom plan that fits your lawn’s needs and your schedule.
