Cost of Lawn Fertilization in Silver Spring

On average, lawn fertilization costs in Silver Spring fall on the lower end of the national range. Lawn fertilization costs between $103 and $343 nationally.

What affects the cost of fertilization?

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

When Is the Best Time to Fertilize Your Lawn?

According to Maryland’s Lawn Fertilizer Law, you can’t apply a spring application of fertilizer until after March 1. You also can’t apply fertilizer after November 15.

Apply fertilizer to cool-season grasses in late summer to early fall. Fertilize Zoysiagrass in spring and summer.

Lawn Fertilization: DIY or Hire a Pro?

You can fertilize your lawn yourself or hire a lawn care professional to fertilize it two to three times a year.

Going DIY gets you a good workout, but you’ll need to buy fertilizer and a spreader, and if you buy liquid fertilizer, you’ll need to do some math to get the mix correct.

Hiring a lawn care pro means you don’t get any physical activity, but you remove the need to buy anything. Pros fertilize countless lawns during the growing season, so they’ll know exactly how much fertilizer your lawn needs, and what type.
