Slower Release

When a landscape team distributes pellets across your lawn, the impact is not immediate. You don’t have to worry about rain washing away the pellets as it would a liquid fertilizer. The slow spread of the fertilizer will help the lawn grow evenly and provide nutrients for an extended amount of time. You do not want to treat your lawn with fertilizer only to go have to through the same process again just a few weeks later. The slow release of pelletized will help ensure your lawn gets the most out of each pellet and the grass can really take in the nutrients provided.

Easy To Spread

Pelletized lawn fertilizer is very easy for landscapers to spread across your lawn. The professionals will often use special tools and devices to spread the pellets around. If you have specific areas to focus on, then the fertilizer can get spread more in those areas.

Spreading pellets with professional tools will help ensure the grass does not grow in patches and your lawn looks even. A landscaper will know the proper amount of pellets to use. With liquid fertilizer, some areas may become over-saturated and not properly allow the grass to grow or absorb nutrients.

Longer Residual

Pelletized fertilizer may last up to two weeks longer in the soil than liquid fertilizers. If you do a single liquid treatment, you may not fully stop weed growth. Pellets placed deep into your lawn can prevent weeds and ensure the grass grows up without any disruptions.

See Your Fertilizer

When looking at the differences between liquid and pelleted fertilizer, you will see the pellets but not the liquid. When we use pelletized fertilizer, you can assess and see where we have fertilized your lawn.

Winter Options

As colder seasons approach, you will want to protect your lawn and ensure the grass has nutrients throughout all the winter months. Pellets can include micro-nutrients that the lawn will absorb and slowly distribute through the colder months. If you were to choose liquid fertilizer, the cold weather could freeze the liquid and lawn may not absorb it as well.

Pellets can be buried in the soil or placed on top of the soil for maximum effectiveness. As the winter ends and spring arrives, your lawn will thrive and not need as much treatment with the new warmer seasons. Typically, the pellet treatment would begin around October and November before the ground fully freezes.

The slow release of the pellet and the nutrients will last throughout the whole winter season. You do not need to worry about treatment or lawn care until the winter ends. In most cases, you see grass grow greener in early spring as opposed to the year before you has any treatments applied.
