Our Lawn Fertilizer Solutions

Unless you’re a professional, it’s difficult to know when to fertilize. Timing when to apply your lawn fertilizer is critical to optimal lawn health. Our Grounds Guys team provides personalized lawn care services you can count on when your lawn needs them. Once we have assessed your landscape, we can design a customized fertilization program to ensure your grass gets the nutrients it needs to grow into a lush, springy carpet.

As part of our fertilization services, we follow a structured procedure to ensure the best possible results for your lawn. Our first step is to conduct a complete soil analysis to understand the turf better. Our team will collect a soil sample from your lawn. The collected soil sample is then sent to the lab for testing, providing a thorough breakdown of the turf's current nutrient composition, including pH levels, organic matter, and nutrient levels.

We then create a baseline for necessary treatment based on the results.

Pest & Weed Services

Managing pests and weeds can be one of the more challenging aspects of lawn maintenance.

Regular lawn pest control can help protect your investment and ensure your property’s landscaping is healthy and attractive year-round. That’s why we offer comprehensive pest and weed control services designed to prevent or get rid of intruders and keep your landscaping looking its best.

Pests like insects, chinch bugs, sod webworms, rodents, and other critters can cause significant damage to your beautiful landscape, including your plants, trees, and property. However, our safe and effective methods are not just about eliminating these pests. They are about protecting your landscape, ensuring its health and beauty are preserved.

Weeds are another nuisance that can quickly take your landscape hostage if you don’t address them. Our solutions target the weeds at the source, ensuring they don’t return while preventing them from spreading.

Lawn Fertilization FAQ

Below, you’ll find some common questions about lawn and tree fertilization. If you have any additional questions, don’t hesitate to contact your local experts at The Grounds Guys of St. Augustine, Florida, and request a free estimate!

How long should you wait to mow your lawn after fertilizing it?

Your soil takes a while to absorb the nutrients in lawn fertilizer. Doing anything too active on your grass right after it’s been fertilized, such as cutting, will disrupt the process. So it’s best to wait 24-48 hours before mowing.

How long does it take for fertilizer to work on trees & shrubs?

Typically, it takes 4-6 weeks for fertilizer to work. It may take longer if your tree or shrub is unhealthy.

Can I fertilize while treating pests and weeds?

We recommend waiting a week after weed control to fertilize your lawn. It’s best to fertilize the soil when it’s not under any stress from weed control. Similarly, you should wait a few days before fertilization after treating the lawn for pests. However, there are fertilizers that include weed control and work well together.
