Why “More Fertilizer” Isn’t Better for Your Lawn

---

 One of the most common lawn misconceptions is that more fertilizer equals a better lawn. In reality, over-fertilization often creates long-term problems.

• Shallow root systems
   
• Increased disease pressure
   
• Excessive growth requiring more mowing
   
• Nutrient runoff into waterways
   
• Weaker turf during summer heat
   

• Soil testing to identify real nutrient needs
   
• Balanced, slow-release fertilizers
   
• Timing applications to the lawn’s growth cycle
   
• Pairing fertilization with proper mowing and watering
   

A healthy lawn is built from the soil up, not from the spreader down.
