By Paul Price


To have a well maintained lawn, there several things that should be done. Among the many things that are done by property owners lawn spraying and fertilization are two of the major things done to make a very big difference in lawn maintenance. However, there are conditions that could hinder the effectiveness of these maintenance procedures. To make sure that all procedures carried out are effective, it is best to first understand these conditions.

Climate is different depending with the location. Climate change could greatly affect how plants do. The different conditions provide different options. It is evident as some plants do well in some regions and not others. To make sure that the plant that is to be planted does well in the field, the soil must be studied first. This will facilitate by making sure that the soil has all the required nutrients for the plant to do well. And if the nutrients are not there, then the right fertilizer and herbicides will be used.

Within a year, there are different seasons. These seasons may vary depending on the location and the climate. These seasons determine if it is the right time to apply fertilizer or spray the field. It is not advisable to apply fertilizers during the spring time. When fertilizer is applied at this time, leaf growth is stimulated at the expense of the root. Some lawns need to be fertilized few times in a year as compared to others. This depends on the quality of the lawn.

Any lawns that are low in terms of quality only needs to be fertilized a few times in a year as compared to a high quality lawn. High quality lawns require high maintenance and low quality lawns require low or medium maintenance. Understanding the kind of maintenance your lawn needs, a schedule can be prepared and followed to make sure the field is well fertilized well throughout the year.

When maintaining any lawns that are low in terms of quality, it is important to understand that it is good to fertilize the lawn when the leaves of the grass have stopped to grow. During this time, the grass grows stronger as the nitrogen from the fertilizer keeps the roots strong. To make sure that the fertilizer is fully utilized, the grass should be watered after applying the fertilizer.

There are machines that should be used when applying fertilizer. These machines are called spreaders and there are two of them. They are the drop spreader and the broadcast or the rotary spreader. They are both used to spread fertilizer on fields but used differently as one is for small lawns and the other for large lawns.

Large lawns require one to use the rotary or the broadcast as more fertilizer is spread in a large area. The fertilizer spreads 10 feet or more. The spreader does not cover the whole field, but a large area is covered. The drop spreader is the one used to apply fertilizer in small fields. Both of the spreaders are effective.

To control weeds in the lawns, herbicides are used. To make sure that they is not damaged by the herbicide, choose the herbicide that controls the target weeds without damaging the grass. It is essential to use the right herbicide all the times as this will take good care of the lawn.
