Cost of Lawn Fertilization in Richmond

While the national average for lawn fertilization services ranges from $103 to $343, in Richmond, costs fall in the middle of this range.

Here's what affects the price:

• Size of your yard: Larger yards need more fertilizer and labor.
• Number of treatments: Bundling treatments often leads to cost savings.
• Fertilizer type: Liquid or granular, fast or slow-release, etc.

When Is the Best Time to Fertilize Your Lawn?

Each grass has its own needs. In Richmond, early fall and late spring are the best times to fertilize cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass and fescue. These seasons correspond to the region's peak growing season for these grass types.

For warm-season grasses like bermudagrass or Zoysia, the right time for fertilization is during the active growing season, usually late spring to early summer. Avoid fertilizing during extreme heat or drought (this can stress the grass).

Lawn Fertilization: DIY or Hire a Pro?

While the DIY approach may suit smaller lawns, Richmonders will benefit from LawnStarter's professional expertise.
