Lawn Fertilization in Ohio
Your lawn needs plenty of water and sunshine, but that’s not everything it needs! Grass also needs nutrients like potassium, phosphorus, and nitrogen to thrive. Over time, soil naturally loses these nutrients as plants use them. To replenish your soil and feed your grass, trust Alpha Lawn Care. We use a high-quality blend to give your lawn what it needs, when it needs it.
When you partner with us for lawn fertilization, we will:
- Evaluate your property, looking for things like yellow grass or stunted growth.
- Determine what fertilizer blend is right for your lawn.
- Schedule five visits throughout the year, from March to December.
- Use products that are cleaner and greener than traditional options.
- Follow-up to ensure you’re seeing the results you want.

Benefits of Fertilizing Your Lawn
A good fertilizer schedule is important for a beautiful lawn, but boosting your curb appeal isn’t the only benefit. Lawn fertilization makes your grass easier to maintain, more resistant to stressors, and overall healthier. Lasting benefits include:
- Disease resistance: Nutrient deficiencies make your grass more susceptible to disease. Healthy grass can naturally fight off problems like dollar spot.
- Better soil quality: Maintaining ground cover prevents topsoil from being washed away by the rain. Thicker grass means more protection from erosion.
- Weed reduction: Thick grass with a large root system is less likely to be overrun by weeds.
- Protection from pests: Pests target vulnerable lawns. By strengthening your grass above and below the soil, it’s harder for pests to cause damage.
- Increased growth rate: If your lawn isn’t getting the nutrients it needs, it won’t grow. Feeding it with fertilizer encourages new growth, helping you achieve a thick, even lawn.
