Reviving Your Lawn: The Farison Way to Fight Fertilizer Burn

Have you ever looked out over your lawn on a sunny day and noticed brown or yellow spots in your grass? Whether you have used another lawn care treatment provider or have attempted DIY lawn care, you might be dealing with a sneaky little troublemaker known as fertilizer burn. But fear not! The green thumbs at Farison Lawn Care are here to help you turn things around.

 

So, What Is Fertilizer Burn?  

Simply put, fertilizer burn happens when too much fertilizer is applied to your lawn. This can overload your grass with nutrients, especially nitrogen, making your lawn look sad with yellow or brown patches. It’s like giving your grass a super-sized meal when it only needs a snack!

 

Spotting the Signs of Trouble 

Let’s make sure you can spot what fertilizer burn looks like:

– Discoloration: Look for those tell-tale brown or yellow patches.

– Wilting Grass: If the grass doesn’t spring back after you walk on it, it might be a bit overwhelmed.

– Crunchy Texture: Feels like walking on crispy leaves? Yep, that’s a sign too.

 

How to Fix Fertilizer Burn  

Caught the problem? Then let’s get your lawn back to its lush self:

  1. Water Generously: First, deep water your lawn to help dilute that nutrient overload.
  2. Soil Aeration: Next up, let’s get some air down there. Aerating the soil helps it absorb water and nutrients more effectively.
  3. Re-seed if Necessary: Got some stubborn spots? Re-seeding might be to fill in the gaps.
