Your lawn needs a balanced fertilizer with nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium plus numerous trace mineral elements that have been scientifically structured to give exactly what is needed when it is needed to keep it healthy and strong.  Most soils have some of these elements present, but usually they become depleted over the years.  Turf is a very hungry plant during its major growing seasons.

Proper fertilizing with balanced applications throughout the growing season promotes thick, dense grass that can resist disease and weed invasions.  Applying too much of any one of the basic elements can cause erratic results.  For example, an overabundance of nitrogen will cause rapid growth of the grass that the roots can't adequately handle, so the blades become long and spindly.  Thus, balance is the key.

Timing is also important.  From experience and exhaustive testing, we know how long certain elements remain active in your lawn.  Combined with the experience we have with our geography and weather conditions, we can maintain that ideal balance of fertilizer with the needs of your lawn--not too much, not too little.
