Jon did an amazing job from start to finish and took the time to explain what I needed and why while customizing a plan for my yard. As a first time homeowner I really appreciated how knowledgeable Jon was and he answered all my questions patiently, I had a lot since we had some dead patches from the previous company. He came over for the estimate and also was at the house for the application and let me known if the plan should be updated as the lawn improved. Thanks!

Choosing the best lawn fertilizer depends on factors like grass type, soil quality, and season. For a healthy, green lawn, consider these options:
Spring and Summer: Use a high-nitrogen fertilizer for rapid growth and deep green color.
Fall: A winterizing fertilizer with extra potassium helps strengthen roots before winter.
Organic Fertilizer: Ideal for eco-friendly lawn care, organic fertilizers improve soil health naturally.
If you’re unsure which fertilizer is best for your lawn, contact Jon Sneider Lawn Care & Tree Service for professional lawn fertilization services and a custom lawn care plan.
-
For best results, apply fertilizer when your grass is actively growing. Use a high-nitrogen fertilizer in spring and a potassium-rich blend in fall. Spread granular fertilizer evenly with a broadcast spreader, or use liquid fertilizer for quicker absorption. Always water lightly after applying to help nutrients soak in.
Over-fertilizing can damage your lawn and harm the environment. A lawn care professional can recommend the best fertilizer and schedule based on your grass type and soil condition.
-
To properly mix fertilizer with soil, start by choosing the right type based on your lawn’s needs. For granular fertilizer, spread it evenly and mix it into the top 4–6 inches of soil using a rake or tiller. For liquid fertilizer, dilute it according to the instructions and apply directly to the soil or plant base.
Avoid over-fertilizing, as too many nutrients can harm plants. For expert advice and proper application, Jon Sneider Lawn Care & Tree Service can recommend the best fertilizer blend and method for your soil type.
-
In Massachusetts, the best months to fertilize your lawn are April, September, and late October.
Spring (April – Early May): Use a slow-release, nitrogen-rich fertilizer to promote early growth.
Fall (September – October): Apply a potassium-rich fertilizer to strengthen roots before winter.
Late Fall (Late October – Early November): A winterizing fertilizer helps the lawn store nutrients for spring.
For a custom fertilization schedule based on your lawn’s needs, we’re happy to discuss what would work best for you.
-
Avoid fertilizing your lawn during:
Extreme Heat (Mid-Summer): High temperatures can cause fertilizer burn and stress your grass.
Dormant Seasons (Winter & Late Fall): Grass isn't actively growing, so fertilizer won’t be absorbed.
Before Heavy Rain: Excess water can wash away nutrients and lead to runoff pollution.
During Drought Conditions: Fertilizer needs moisture to be effective—without water, it can harm your lawn.
For proper fertilization timing and expert care, Jon Sneider Lawn Care & Tree Service can create a schedule tailored to your lawn’s needs.
-
It’s best to fertilize after light rain or when the soil is slightly damp. This helps nutrients absorb without washing away. Avoid fertilizing before heavy rain, as excess water can cause runoff, wasting fertilizer and polluting waterways.
-
Results depend on the type of fertilizer used:
Liquid fertilizer: Absorbs quickly, with visible improvement in 3–7 days.
Granular slow-release fertilizer: Takes longer, usually 2–4 weeks for full effect. Seasonal factors: Growth is faster in spring and summer but slower in fall and cooler months.
