Why is professional lawn fertilization important?
Professional lawn fertilization ensures your grass receives the right nutrients at the right times. Over time, soil loses organic nutrients that need replenishing. Without proper fertilization, your lawn can become mostly weak, patchy, and prone to diseases, pests, and weeds. Professional services remove the guesswork, providing your lawn with exactly what it needs to thrive.
How often should I fertilize my lawn?
The frequency of lawn fertilization depends on factors like your grass type and local climate. In general, most lawns should be fertilized 4-5 times a year:
- Early Spring: To help your grass bounce back after winter.
- Late Spring/Early Summer: To encourage strong growth during the growing season.
- Fall: To prepare your lawn for winter and ensure a healthy start next spring.
Blue Sky Lawns will also create a customized fertilization schedule based on your lawn’s specific needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the fertilizers used by Blue Sky Lawns safe for children and pets?
Yes, the fertilizers we use are safe for children and pets once absorbed into the soil. We recommend keeping pets and children off the lawn for a short period after treatment to allow for proper absorption (usually 24-48 hours). Our team will provide detailed instructions for when it’s safe to return to the lawn.
How soon will I see results after treatment?
Results vary depending on the fertilizer type and environmental conditions. Slow-release fertilizers take a few weeks to yield visible improvements. In general, with regular fertilization, you should see improvements in your lawn’s color, thickness, and overall health within a few weeks.
How do I know if my lawn needs fertilization?
If your lawn looks weak, patchy, or discolored, or if you’re seeing an increase in weeds, it may be a sign that your lawn is nutrient-deficient. Fertilizing can help restore the balance. Regular lawn care, including fertilization, aeration, and weed control, will ensure your lawn stays healthy and vibrant throughout the year.
Do I need to be home for lawn fertilization services?
No, you don’t need to be home for us to perform lawn fertilization services. Our trained technicians will apply the treatments to your lawn and leave a notification with details about the service. If you have specific requests or instructions, you can easily communicate them to us beforehand.
