BEAUTIFUL LAWNS AND HEALTHY STREAMS

A regular fertilization program is important to maintain a healthy, attractive lawn. Proper fertilization is generally the most cost-effective practice to have a nice lawn. A soil test will tell you what nutrients are present in your soil and what you need to add. This includes what fertilizer to use, how much and when to apply. Soil testing is available through the Extension Service (678-377-4025) for a small fee. A rule of thumb for warm season grasses is to apply 10-10-10 fertilizer at a rate of 10 pounds per 1000 square feet after Spring green-up. Waiting until after your grass is green, increases the likelihood of the fertilizer going into the grass plants and not into our streams. This way you can have an award winning lawn and you will be doing your part to protect our streams.
