Soil-tested lawn treatment in Newton
Many lawns in Newton sit on open lots that dry out in the summer wind. A soil test each September shows the phosphorus and potassium in your soil.
The ground in Newton
Few trees or hills break the wind across most Newton lots. A lawn on an open lot dries faster than one sheltered by trees or houses.
Lawn problems we look for in Newton
Pale grass in summer
Because Newton soil is alkaline, it often locks up iron. Grass that is short on iron turns yellow-green even when it gets enough water. We apply liquid iron with the June feed. The iron greens the lawn for several weeks.
Wind that dries the lawn
Wind pulls moisture out of the grass blades and the top of the soil. Water less often and for longer so the roots grow down below the dry surface. The potassium in our June feed also helps the grass handle heat and dry spells.
Thin spots after a dry summer
Grass that dries out in July and August often thins in patches. On Fertilizer + Fall Renovation, we core aerate in September and overseed the thin spots. Water the new seed every day for about two weeks.
We feed your Newton lawn at all six visits and treat the whole lawn for weeds in May and August
