Achieving a healthy lawn in Central Maine starts with the right fertilization strategy. At Turf Solutions LLC, we tailor fertilization plans to your unique soil, grass type, and season, ensuring your lawn thrives.
Why Fertilizing Matters
- Balanced nutrition is critical: nitrogen for growth, phosphorus for roots, and potassium for stress tolerance
- A well‑fed lawn is more resilient against weeds, pests, and diseases
- Proper fertilization reduces water needs and boosts overall lawn density
When to Fertilize in Maine
Spring (April–May)
Apply slow‑release nitrogen after green‑up to support early growth
Fall (around Labor Day)
Use a “winterizer” fertilizer to support root development before dormancy
Split applications
For peak results, fertilize twice—once in spring and once in fall
How Much and What Type to Use?
- General rate: 3.5 lb of nitrogen per 1,000 sq ft annually; split evenly between spring and fall
- Slow‑release granules preferred: Provide longer feeding and less burn risk
- Soil testing is essential: We conduct tests before recommending nutrient blends
Our Lawn Fertilization Process
Our approach to fertilization goes beyond just spreading product. It all starts with soil testing, where we analyze your lawn’s specific nutrient levels, pH balance, and organic content. This step helps us identify deficiencies and choose the right fertilizer blend tailored to your property.
Next, we develop a custom application plan based on your lawn’s needs and Maine’s seasonal conditions. Our team uses professional-grade equipment to apply fertilizer evenly across your lawn, minimizing overlap and reducing the risk of burning or runoff.
After the application, we provide ongoing maintenance guidance to help you get the most out of your lawn treatments. When paired with services like aeration and overseeding or lawn repair and renovation, our fertilization process creates a stronger, greener, and more resilient lawn that thrives throughout the growing season.
