Fertilization and weed control are two of the most common lawn care services - fertilizer supplies your lawn with nutrients while weed control treatments eliminate unsightly and nutrient-stealing weeds. If you are looking to achieve a healthy and weed-free lawn on your property in Pennsylvania, you will want to combine both of these services. If you only fertilize your lawn, you will be giving nutrients to the weeds as well as your lawn. If you only use weed control, you'll have a weed-free lawn, but your grass might not have the nutrients it needs to thrive. Combining these two services will yield optimum results and give you the beautiful, healthy lawn you've always wanted.

If you fertilize your lawn without weed control treatments, you'd be supplying nutrients to the weeds.

Fertilizer contains a ton of nutrients that your lawn needs to thrive, including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. However, these nutrients are also what weeds want. If you were to fertilize your lawn without weed control treatments, you'd be supplying nutrients to the weeds. Weeds will steal these nutrients from your grass, causing them to get stronger and possibly even overrun your turf. Because of this, it's crucial to utilize weed control treatments to eliminate them from your lawn and help your grass get the nutrients it needs to thrive.

Some common weeds in Pennsylvania include crabgrass, spotted surge, black medic, and broadleaf plantain.

While your lawn will be weed-free with weed control treatments, it may not have enough nutrients to thrive without fertilizer.

Dried out lawn with weed control treatments lacking fertilizer in Doylestown, PA.

Weed control treatments are crucial to eliminating pesky, nutrient-stealing weeds from your lawn; pre-emergent weed control will prevent weeds from surfacing, and post-emergent treatments target weeds that have already sprouted. However, while your lawn will be weed-free with weed control treatments, your soil may not be providing enough nutrients to your grass. A lack of nutrients can lead to your grass losing its healthy green color and becoming weak and more susceptible to stressors. That's where fertilizer comes in! Your grass may need a boost to thrive, and fertilizer will do just that.

Fertilization and weed control are essential lawn care services that will help your turf thrive, but you'll see the best results when they're combined.
