A Well-Fed Lawn is a Healthy Lawn

Every yard is different and having a lawn service at the Lake of the Ozarks set up the proper lawn management program tailored to your yard can make all the difference this season. A B Pest Control and Insulation has a formula for success for your lawn. A weed and feed fertilizer is an essential part of our lawn care program. Depending on the types of grasses that are growing in your yard, how much sun or shade your lawn receives, and many other factors will determine when your lawn needs to be fertilized. A well-fed lawn is healthier, which means it has a better root system to combat heat, drought, mowing, foot traffic and other stresses. Our professional lawn company at the Lake of the Ozarks can build a successful program specifically for your lawn to provide the best results. Here are 2 basic reasons using a weed and feed fertilizer will improve the health of your lawn this season:

It Controls Weeds

A healthy lawn discourages weed growth. A proper weed and feed program will help reduce and control weeds and replace lost nutrients in your lawn. The "weed" portion of the weed and feed fertilization program will attack dandelions and other green leafy weeds. It generally strengthens existing grass while killing off certain weeds. It should improve your lawn's ability to absorb food and water along with adding the necessary nutrients to promote healthy growth. 

It Feeds Your Lawn

Fertilizer helps your lawn stay healthy by promoting new blade and root growth and will aid in recovery from foot traffic and pest damage. The soil supplies some of the nutrients that grass needs, but not enough to be able to provide all of them during the entire growing season. The "feed" portion of the lawn care program is a fertilizer that contains a combination of nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorous to green up your lawn. Depending on the specific needs of your lawn, the exact blend varies, but it will always contain nitrogen, and most likely include some additional benefits.   

A B Pest Control and Insulation Will Keep Your Lawn Healthy

The most important thing you can do for your lawn is to feed it. While fertilizing it once a year will improve the condition of it, feeding it throughout the season will make it even healthier. A B Pest Control and Insulation can evaluate your lawn's needs and put it on a regular maintenance schedule so that it stays lush and green all season long.

Protect Your Lawn with a Fertilizer and a Pre-Emergent Lawn Care Treament

For a beautiful lawn this season and to win the war on weeds, now is the time to apply a fertilizer and pre-emergent lawn care treatment. Feeding your lawn will keep it healthy while keeping the weeds away. Timing is everything to prevent seeds from germinating. Prevention happens in the spring. Before your lawn gets engulfed in unsightly weeds, you should contact a lawn service at the Lake of the Ozarks. A B Pest Control and Insulation offers a turf management program tailored just for your lawn.

Why You Need To Fertilize Your Lawn

If you want a healthy lawn, it takes more than mowing and watering it. Fertilizer provides the proper nutrients for your lawn to grow lush and green. Optimal results occur when the fertilizer is applied accurately and evenly across your lawn. Inconsistent coverage can make your lawn grow uneven. Too much fertilization can cause havoc too. Thatch buildup can harbor large populations of insects, causing an increase in pest problems in your yard. Fertilization is generally most successful if applied using a slow release product that contains nitrogen, which is responsible for green growth and optimized health. It also reduces the risk of disease and fungus. It is best to address individual lawn care at Lake of the Ozarks, by factoring in location and the type of grass you have. 

The Benefits of a Pre-Emergent Lawn Care Treatment

You have probably spent countless hours pulling weeds or spraying weed killers from your local home improvement store. This can be frustrating, but there is a way to improve the appearance of your lawn with less hassle. A pre-emergent lawn care product should be applied in spring which will help throughout the majority of the growing season. Various weeds germinate at different times, so repeated applications of the right chemical can eliminate most of the weeds in your lawn. Below are some of the benefits:

• It stops the weeds from growing
• A minimal amount of labor is involved 
• Dealing with remaining weeds is easier
• Each successive season, the need to spray a post-emergent weed killer is lessened
