After winter has passed and the ground is thawing, it’s refreshing to see the grass sprouting and the flowers blooming. However, if your lawn isn’t growing back thick, you may need to apply a boost of nutrients to help it thrive. If you don’t have the time or expertise to fertilize your lawn, let LawnStarter help.

It just takes a few clicks to book lawn fertilization and other lawn treatments with LawnStarter Pros in Marietta.

Cost of Lawn Fertilization in Marietta

The cost of lawn fertilization nationally ranges from from $103 to $343, and fertilization prices in Marietta fall in the middle of this range.

What affects the cost of fertilization?

• Size of your yard (larger yards will cost more)
• Number of treatments (more treatments, lower per-treatment price)
• Type of fertilizer (liquid or granular, fast or slow-release, etc.)
• Cost is often lower if bundled with other services

When Is the Best Time to Fertilize Your Lawn?

The exact timing for fertilization depends on the type of grass you have, but generally, it’s best to have the first application in the spring. The University of Georgia’s lawn maintenance calendar can help you determine when you should apply your fertilizer treatments.

Just remember, don’t apply fertilizer if rain is in the forecast because fertilizer runoff is toxic to wildlife.

Lawn Fertilization: DIY or Hire a Pro?

If you consider yard work a hobby you enjoy, then this is just another skill you can master. However, you will have to purchase the materials and tools. Not to mention, you’ll have to store this equipment all year.

On the other hand, if you’d rather be strolling Marietta Square, hiring a professional is an easy way to ensure your lawn looks great without the hassle of DIY. LawnStarter makes it easy to hire a lawn care pro to apply fertilizer two or three times a year. You won’t have to worry about keeping up with another schedule, and you won’t have to get your hands dirty or buy chemicals and tools.
