Proper fertilization is essential for the growth of a healthy, thick lawn. Anyone can tell you grass and plants need water and light to grow, although that is true, plants and grass also need other nutrients such as Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium to grow the best and strongest they can.

Integrated Lawn and Tree has been the fertilization experts in the Kansas City area since 2009. We provide a comprehensive, 6-step fertilization plan throughout the year to get that dense, green lawn you’ve always wanted.

Although lawn fertilization is an essential part to the thicker, greener, and healthier turf you’ve always been after, it is merely a step in a much larger process. In order for grass to be fertilized, it needs to be cleared of debris like leaves, brush or thatch, which means a proper spring or fall cleanup may be in order as well as a thatch removal service.

Once we remove the thatch from the top layer, the fertilizer may still not be able to be absorbed by the roots. Compacted dirt can surround the roots and prevent grass roots from receiving the nutrients in the fertilization. For this, a core aeration service would be needed to loosen up that dense soil and allow oxygen, water, and other nutrients to flow through the root system, giving your lawn the full benefit of the treatment.
