Why Proper Lawn Fertilization Is One of the Best Investments You Can Make A healthy, green lawn doesn't happen by accident. It starts with providing your grass the nutrients it needs at the right time and in the right amounts. Unfortunately, many homeowners believe that applying fertilizer once or twice a year is enough. In reality, successful lawn fertilization is a year-round process that changes with the seasons.
