Winter is the time to start thinking about upcoming spring lawn maintenance, and fertilization should be at the top of the list. Fertilization results in healthier and more attractive properties and should start to be applied in early April, so it's good to start planning now. Alternative EarthCare shares three important reasons to fertilize your lawn after the winter.

1.   Fertilization helps to control lawn insects and disease Just like taking vitamins helps to ward off illness in people, having regular fertilization treatments from April through December will help to control insect populations and lawn disease. Providing the proper balance of nutrients will create a healthier lawn that is less prone to insect and disease damage. Unhealthy grass that consists of shallow root systems, thatch patches, and other lawn problems, attracts crabgrass, grubs, aphids, and other insects that could potentially spread to other areas of the property such as trees and plants.

2.   Fertilization results in a healthier and better-looking lawn Fertilizing promotes leaf and root growth which improves the color, density, and resilience of grass.  Fertilization also assists in root depth, which is a big factor in the grass' ability to drink from the ground water, resulting in a greener, thicker, healthier lawn. Having a professional fertilize your lawn will ensure that the proper balance of nutrients is applied.

3.   Curb appeal A thick, green, healthy lawn provides a lot of curb appeal. It can even at times impact the ability for homeowners to sell their house.  For those selling a home, it's important to understand that factors such as the appearance of the lawn, can be a make or break factor in the decision-making process. If two homes are similar, the one with the healthier lawn will have a greater perceived value.  Whether or not you're selling your home, curb appeal is important, and fertilizing your lawn can go a long way in improving the overall aesthetic of your house.
