Lawn Care

What Nutrients Does My Soil Need?

There are three nutrients that form the core of our fertilizer blends:

• Nitrogen - The primary nutrient required by lawn grass. It serves two purposes; in the spring, it helps your grass grow more quickly and in vibrant green. In the fall, it helps your lawn to recover from the stress of summer's heat.
• Phosphorus - Your grass is only as strong as its roots, and phosphorus helps to stimulate root growth so they're able to reach deeper into the soil to find deeper stores of moisture to help weather the summer sun.
• Potassium - Grass uses potassium to help strengthen the walls of its cells, giving it protection from cold, heat, disease and drought.

As an added bonus, once our fertilizer treatment is absorbed into the ground, it is completely safe for children and pets. With just one treatment, you'll be enjoying a greener, denser and healthier lawn.

The Right Fertilizer Is Just The First Step

A good fertilizer gives your grass the foundation it needs to grow in lovely and thick. But that's just one part of a comprehensive lawn care program. All Wet Irrigation & Lighting offers a range of other services to ensure you get the best lawn possible:

• Core Aeration - Have a bunch of kids running around your yard? Your soil could be compacted, which makes it difficult for grass to grow. Core aeration loosens the soil back up to help it release carbon dioxide and absorb oxygen. Aeration also reduces thatch, the thin layer between grass and soil, to well below the half-inch limit that starts to suffocate your grass.
• Overseeding - After aeration, we overseed your lawn. This places grass seed directly into the holes made by aeration, which gives them a leg up on building good, deep roots so they can grow in strong.
• Powerseeding - A power seeder slices into the ground and places seeds directly into the slits. Much like aeration and overseeding, it provides a deeper, more direct contact between the seeds and the soil, giving more of the seeds a chance to grow.
• Lime Treatment - If our soil tests determine your soil is too acidic, it'll be hostile to growing grass and instead will favor weeds and other unwanted growth. Lime treatments can help bring your soil's pH back into the ideal range for grass growth.
• Weed & Crabgrass Control - Tired of having unwanted plants choking out your grass? We can apply treatments to discourage growth of crabgrass and weeds to take care of them at the source. No more days hunched over pulling weeds!
• Grub & Insect Controls - We all know you aren't seeking to use your yard as a buffet for local pests. Our grub and insect controls will help keep the bugs from devouring your grass and ruining all the work that's gone in to your beautiful lawn.
