FAQs for lawn care fertilize or treatment service projects in Athens, IL

Frequency comes down to lawn health. A thick, well-established yard may thrive on one feeding per year, while stressed or nutrient-poor turf could need a boost every six weeks. Watch for slow growth or yellowing blades—both are signals that the grass is running low on nutrients and ready for another treatment.

Yes, you can fertilize your grass immediately after cutting it. Applying fertilizer right after mowing lets the nutrients soak in before the next cut or watering. Bag or rake up clippings first so they don’t block granules from hitting the soil. This quick post-mow step can improve absorption and help the lawn recover faster from the trim.

Too much fertilizer can scorch grass blades, create brown or yellow patches, and damage the roots—a condition called “fertilizer burn.” Stick to the product’s spread rate, and never double up hoping for faster results. If you’re unsure of the correct amount, a local lawn-care pro can measure, calibrate, and apply the right dose for your yard.

Yes, you can treat your lawn with compost instead of fertilizer. Compost delivers a slow, steady stream of organic nutrients and can replace or supplement commercial fertilizers. While bagged fertilizer gives grass an immediate boost, compost improves long-term soil structure and microbial life, setting the stage for stronger roots and greener blades season after season.

Early spring is the time for an organic, slow-release blend that feeds steadily and builds soil health. A slow-release product delivers nutrients over several weeks, setting up vigorous growth for the rest of the season. If the lawn is thin or the roots are shallow, pair that base feeding with a small dose of quick-release fertilizer for an instant green-up.
