Want to improve the health of your lawn, encourage greener growth, and limit the development of weeds?
Take advantage of our fertilizer service. Fertilizer is essential for healthy lawn growth. The team at All Around Property Maintenance will choose fertilizers that are specifically formulated for your soil and grass and schedule fertilizer applications to meet your lawn care needs.

What Our Lawn Fertilizer Services Include

All of our lawn care services are provided by our highly trained staff. Our fertilizer service is designed to help you grow a healthy lawn. Our fertilizer provides essential nutrients to your lawn, all while limiting weed growth.

Our lawn fertilizer service begins with a careful evaluation of your lawn’s health. We’ll ask you about weeds you may have seen in the past, and any other problems you may have had with your lawn. We’ll also evaluate the blend of grass you have in order to determine which fertilizer will be best for your yard.
Once we’ve resolved which type of fertilizer will be best for your lawn, we carefully apply it. The quantity of fertilizer we will apply will depend on several conditions; too little, and your lawn will be underfed—too much, and your lawn can be damaged. The lawn care professionals at All Around Property Maintenance have the knowledge and skills to ensure your lawn receives the perfect amount of nutrients.

When the fertilizer is applied, we may water your lawn to help the fertilizer reach the roots. Whether or not we’ll water depends on the type of fertilizer we use, weather conditions, and other factors.

A healthy lawn should be fertilized about four times a year. As part of our services, we will schedule as many fertilizer applications as you’d like; we can also couple these applications with other lawn care services, like grass cutting and core aeration.

Why Lawn Fertilizer Is Important

Fertilizer helps provide your lawn with a mix of nutrients that may not be readily available in your lawn’s soil. Every fertilizer features a different blend of nutrients, and each mixture is tailored to different lawn and soil types. Generally, there are three different nutrients available in lawn fertilizer:
  • Nitrogen helps build proteins and chlorophyll for photosynthesis.
  • Phosphorus promotes amino acid production and helps with energy production.
  • Potassium is needed for photosynthesis and cell division and makes your lawn resistant to heat and traffic.
Fertilizing your lawn is a bit like giving it a healthy diet. When your lawn has the right nutrients, it will grow better and be more resistant to pests and diseases. Lush, green grass also leaves less space for weeds to grow; fertilizer is an important part of weed control. Some fertilizer mixes even have weed control products built in.

Choosing the right type of lawn fertilizer is an important part of lawn maintenance. Most fertilizers will have high levels of nitrogen, with less phosphorus and potassium. While you’ll typically never have more potassium or phosphorus than nitrogen, the percentage of each will vary depending on the formulation you choose. There are different formulations for each season and for the varied lawn types.

As part of our Winnipeg lawn care services, we’ll select the right fertilizer for your lawn. Applying fertilizer regularly is important to ensure that your grass has the right nutrition year-round; we’ll schedule our lawn care and fertilizer services around your schedule and the needs of your lawn.

When You Should Fertilize Your Lawn

We recommend that our Winnipeg customers fertilize their lawns four times a year:
  • In early spring
  • In late spring
  • In summer
  • In fall
You’ll want to wait 6 to 8 weeks between each application.

In the early spring—starting around March or April, depending on when winter gives out—applying fertilizer can help your lawn grow healthy and strong after the cold winter months. We typically recommend fertilizing when your grass is green and actively growing; around mid-to-late April.

In late spring—typically the end of May to the middle of June—the growing season is in full swing, and you’ll need to keep your lawn nourished so it can continue growing healthy and strong.

In the summer—typically late July to mid-August—fertilizer can be a bit trickier. When your lawn is healthy and strong, it’s a good idea to apply fertilizer. In some circumstances, when your grass is very dry, brown, or otherwise unhealthy, you might want to skip applying fertilizer in the summer. When our team is applying fertilizer for you, let us know if there’s any sign of dead or unhealthy grass so we can fix the problem right away.

In the fall, it’s important to apply fertilizer to keep your grass healthy through the winter months, so it can grow back green and strong in the spring. Typically, you’ll apply the final layer of fertilizer in October, before the snow falls.

Setting Your Lawn Fertilization Schedule

The season you choose for applying fertilizer isn’t the only important thing; you’ll also want to coordinate applying fertilizer with the rest of your lawn maintenance. We offer a variety of lawn services, from aeration to mowing; here’s how fertilization interacts with each of those services.
  • Mowing: Typically, fertilizer should be applied after the lawn has been mowed; this makes it easier for the fertilizer to make it to the root level.
  • Aeration: Core aeration pulls up plugs of soil; fertilizing after aeration can help the fertilizer integrate with the soil and reach the roots of your lawn.
  • Overseeding: You can overseed and fertilize at around the same time—special fertilizer should be used when overseeding to provide the nutrients that new seeds need.
  • Dethatching/Power raking: Dethatching should be done before fertilizing; the thatch layer can prevent fertilizer from reaching the soil. You may want to wait a few days after power raking to apply fertilizer; this gives your lawn time to recover.
  • Weed control: Some fertilizers are integrated with weed control products; others should be applied before or after weed control measures.
  • Watering: Watering your lawn a day or two before fertilizer is applied can help ensure the soil is moist and ready to absorb nutrients. A light misting can help your fertilizer reach the soil, but avoid overwatering, which can wash away the fertilizer.
The schedule we set for applying fertilizer will depend, in part, on your overall lawn care and maintenance schedule. By bundling all of your lawn care services with All Around Property Maintenance, we can craft the perfect schedule to optimally coordinate all your lawn care.
