Lawn Fertilization
Healthy lawns draw nutrients up from the soil and through the roots and use those nutrients to grow into lush, dense grass. That is where fertilization comes in. Proper lawn fertilization coupled with both pre-emergent and post-emergent applications will boost your lawn’s ability to grow beautiful, thick grass no matter the season. We have customized fertilization and weed control programs geared specifically for all types of warm season grasses that surround the Northeast Columbia, Elgin, SC area. Listed below is a comprehensive care program for your warm season grass. We take the guesswork out of the equation and put these techniques directly to work for you. You the customer now know what to expect and when to expect it.
