Think of fertilizer as a vitamins and supplement program, giving your lawn nutrients for optimal health. There are three basic types of fertilizer—fast-release synthetic, slow-release synthetic, and slow-release natural (organic).

Most lawns benefit from a core aeration process once every fall. In this process, a device with metal tubes about one-half inch in diameter is rolled over your lawn, penetrating several inches into the turf to remove plugs of turf and soil, and then deposit them on the surface. The resulting holes emit water, air, fertilizer, and humus-creating organic matter to the root systems. The holes give the soil room to loosen, permitting easier root growth and better air and water circulation throughout the turf.

Many lawns benefit from seeding (or “over-seeding”) each fall. New seed can fill in thinned-out areas, create a denser lawn that will discourage weeds and pests, add a newer grass variety with improved disease and insect resistance to an established lawn, or add a better grass variety for the area—for example, fine fescue can be planted in an area with dense shade, where tall fescue doesn’t grow well.

Lyme Disease cases have been reported in CT since 1975 and have been on the rise since. The newly reported Powassan tick disease can be deadly and is on the rise. Tick control applications are specifically designed to eliminate the possibility of getting ticks on your property. From spring until late fall, applications will get rid of tick-borne diseases. Organic applications are also an option.

Most established ornamental plants in the landscape require care to stay healthy and attractive. Fertilization and deep-root feeding, along with insect control are all part of a good ornamental care program. Fungicide application helps prevent the growth of fungi on ornamental plants.
