​Whether you're a seasoned green thumb or a budding gardener, understanding the nuances of fertilizing your landscaping in Buford can make all the difference in nurturing a thriving garden.
 
Before you even think about fertilizer, let's talk dirt. The soil in Buford can vary significantly from one garden to another, influencing what type of fertilization your plants will need.
 
We can help you perform tests to determine the pH level and nutrient content to select the most appropriate product for your property’s health. Our pros can also install native plants and other features to support the local ecosystem.
 
Choosing the Correct Spring Fertilizer and For All Seasons
In the world of fertilizers, there's no one-size-fits-all solution. Depending on your soil test results, you'll need to choose a product that complements the existing nutrient profile.
 
Nitrogen is popular because it encourages leaf growth. It helps a lawn grow into a lush carpet while supporting your leafy shrubs.
 
With phosphorus, you can support healthy root development. This addition is essential for all newly planted trees, shrubs, flowers, and plants.
 
Potassium strengthens overall plant health to help your landscaping become more naturally resistant to disease and drought.
 
When looking for fertilizers to support your landscaping, you’ll want to match the NPK ratio to your current needs. Since Buford’s climate supports a significant family of different plants, a specialized product might be helpful for roses or azaleas.
 
Our pros can take on these tasks through our lawn and landscaping services with affordable pricing.
 
Applying the Fertilizer Correctly Is Essential for Plant Health Although it might be tempting to purchase a bag of fertilizer at the store and toss it on your lawn, this task requires more steps than that to achieve maximum results.
 

• The package label is more than fine print. When you follow the manufacturer’s instructions, you will have a guide on how much and how often to apply the product.
• Watering your plants a day before the fertilizing occurs will hydrate the soil to make it more receptive to receive the nutrients, if you do so lightly after, more seepage can occur.
• Consider using spreaders for granular products and sprayers for hose-end fertilizers to ensure even coverage.

 
If you're leaning towards a more sustainable approach, organic fertilizers and compost can enrich your soil while minimizing environmental impact. These options release nutrients more slowly, reducing the risk of runoff into Buford's beautiful waterways.
