Custom Lawn Fertilizer Programs
A lush, green lawn is a sign of a healthy and well-maintained landscape, and lawn fertilization is one of the most critical components of achieving that. At North Eastern Tree, Shrub, & Lawn Care, we understand that no two lawns are the same, which is why our lawn fertilizer service is tailored specifically to your property’s needs. Our team of lawn care specialists begins by thoroughly assessing the growing environment, taking into account soil conditions, grass type, sunlight, and other factors to develop a lawn care program that will help your lawn thrive throughout the season.
Organic and Natural Fertilizer Options
At North Eastern Tree, Shrub, & Lawn Care, we offer natural and pure organic lawn fertilization services for those who prefer an environmentally friendly approach. Our organic fertilizers are made from natural, carbon-based sources, which help improve the health of the soil by encouraging the growth of beneficial microorganisms. This sustainable approach supports long-term soil health and lawn vitality while reducing the risk of chemical runoff that can harm local ecosystems. Organic fertilizers not only feed the lawn but also improve the overall structure and nutrient-holding capacity of the soil, leading to a healthier, more vibrant lawn over time.
Lawn Fertilization Services | Timing and Application Rates
Fertilization is not a one-size-fits-all process, and the timing and rate of application are just as important as the type of fertilizer used. Our lawn care professionals have the training and experience to determine the ideal application schedule based on the specific needs of your lawn. Whether it’s an early spring application to jumpstart growth after winter dormancy or a fall treatment to prepare your lawn for the cold months ahead, our team ensures that each application is perfectly timed to optimize nutrient uptake and lawn performance.
We apply fertilizers in a way that minimizes the risk of nutrient runoff and maximizes absorption, ensuring your lawn benefits from every treatment. By following industry best practices and using top-quality materials, our lawn care fertilizer service helps your lawn stay lush, green, and healthy throughout the growing season.
How Our Lawn Fertilizer Service Works
Our process starts with a comprehensive soil test, which is an essential first step in any successful lawn care fertilizer service. This test allows us to identify nutrient deficiencies, soil pH levels, and the presence of other key factors affecting your lawn’s health. Based on the results, we craft a personalized lawn care program that includes precisely timed applications of lawn fertilizer to deliver essential nutrients when your lawn needs them most
There are many nutrients critical for optimal plant growth, and each lawn requires a unique balance of these elements to thrive. Whether your lawn is lacking in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, or trace elements like magnesium or calcium, our soil testing process ensures that we address any imbalances and provide a custom solution. This targeted approach ensures your lawn receives the right nutrients in the right amounts, promoting vigorous growth, deep root development, and increased resilience to stressors like drought, pests, and disease.

Frequently Asked Question
When to fertilize lawn?
For lawns in the Northeast (New York, Connecticut, New Jersey), we have “cool-season” grasses like Fescue, Kentucky Bluegrass, and Ryegrass. For these types of lawns, fall is the most important time of year to fertilize.
Here is the ideal fertilization schedule for our climate:
- Early Fall (September/October): This is the single most critical feeding of the year. The grass is actively growing and recovering from summer stress. This application helps build deep, strong roots before winter.
- Late Fall (November, before the ground freezes): A final “winterizer” application is highly recommended. It doesn’t promote top growth but helps the grass store essential nutrients, allowing it to survive the winter and green up much faster in the spring.
- Spring (April/May): A light feeding in the spring helps the lawn “wake up” and get a quick start, but the fall applications are far more critical for long-term health and resilience.
What is the best way to know for sure?
The most accurate way to know what to fertilize with is to get a professional soil test. A soil test tells you exactly which nutrients your lawn is missing and what its pH level is, allowing for a custom fertilization plan instead of a “one-size-fits-all” approach. One of our professionals can perform a soil test for your lawn to determine what
Why can't I just use a generic, store-bought fertilizer?
Store-bought, “one-size-fits-all” fertilizers don’t account for your lawn’s specific needs. Our programs are different. We start by assessing your unique growing environment, including soil conditions, grass type, and sunlight, to create a tailored program that delivers exactly what your lawn needs to thrive.
What's the benefit of organic fertilizer vs. traditional?
While traditional fertilizers feed the plant directly, our organic, carbon-based fertilizers are designed to feed the soil. This encourages the growth of beneficial microorganisms, improves the soil’s structure, and enhances its ability to hold nutrients. This sustainable approach leads to a healthier, more resilient lawn over time.
How often does my lawn need to be fertilized?
Fertilization is not a one-time event. Proper timing is critical, as your lawn’s needs change with the seasons. A healthy lawn typically requires precisely timed applications, including an early spring treatment to jumpstart growth and a fall treatment to build deep roots and prepare for winter. We create a custom schedule for you based on your soil test and lawn type.
What is a soil test and is it really necessary?
Yes, a soil test is the essential first step in any successful lawn care program. It’s a scientific analysis that tells us exactly what your soil is lacking, from key nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to trace elements. It also measures the soil pH. Without this test, we’d just be guessing; with it, we can build a precise plan to fix any deficiencies and optimize growth.
