Properly fertilizing your plants will give you greener leaves, heavier and more colorful blooms, and stronger root systems.

Evergreens: Plants that retain their leaves or needles in the winter -

Fertilize twice a year using a 5-10-5 fertilizer, once in the spring and once in the fall.

Deciduous Plants: Plants that lose their leaves in the fall -

Fertilize once a year in the spring or fall using a 10-10-10 fertilizer.

Flowering Plants and Perennials –

Use a 10-30-10 fertilizer to promote bigger and better blooms.

Lawns: Fertilizing your lawn should first be done in early spring with a high nitrogen fertilizer.  Please consult with a licensed chemical company regarding weed care, grub or pest control, fertilizer application and other lawn programs.

*It is very important to wait at least six months after a newly seeded or sodded lawn is installed to apply a weed application.
