Fertilizer & Weed Control

At Cesar’s Landscaping we provide a well rounded fertilizer and weed control program that maintains the health of your lawn. A thick healthy green lawn may be your number one asset to your properties curb appeal.

Fertilization is a key component in a healthy lawn. Benefits of fertilization are: Supplying needed nutrients to the lawn, lawn recovery from drought and stress, combats weeds by keeping the grass thick which smoothers out weeds.

The three main components of fertilizer are Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. While Nitrogen and Potassium are essential in keeping a healthy green lawn. Phosphorus is not as important for most lawns. Potassium is essential to your lawn especially when you’re seeding. It is an important nutrient for new grass seed aiding in root development.

Weeds are controlled two ways:

1) By applying a pre-emergent herbicide in early spring. Pre-emergent herbicides are applied before seeds germinate and form a barrier on the soil.This kills most emerging weeds. Aeration, landscaping, raking, etc. can accelerate the breakdown of this barrier and should be done before you apply the pre-emergent.

2) By applying post-emergent herbicides. Post-emergent herbicides are applied throughout the year depending on which program is developed for your lawn.

A healthy green carpet of grass is the key to most home landscaping plans. Having a rich green lawn, will showcase your home or business and bring out an aesthetic value. In addition to its aesthetic value, a well-kept lawn has many practical functions. It holds the soil in place and reduces dust and mud that can get tracked into the house. It provides a cooler setting for the house by reducing glare and reflected heat from the sun. It serves as comfortable family recreation area and reduces the risk of injuries.
