  1. What is The Best Time to Apply Fertilizer Before or After Lawn Mowing in Austin, TX?

  2. What is the best time to apply fertilizer before or after lawn mowing in Austin, TX? While some schools of thought think fertilizing should come before mowing, the general consensus is the opposite. Most yard services in Austin consider it a better idea to mow your lawn first before fertilizing it. Mowing the lawn will clear out debris, organic waste and overgrowth making it easier for fertilizers to get to the soil once applied. Ensure to wait up to 24 hours or more after mowing before commencing fertilization.

  3. Why Fertilize After Mowing In a city like Austin, lawns are often faced with dry, hot weather which makes plant development more challenging. Mowing first before fertilizing benefits the lawn more in these ways listed below: Encourages Uniform Distribution of Grass Long grass can stop fertilizer particles from reaching the soil surface. Mowing first ensures that the grass surface is even which makes the distribution exercise more effective. Spreading fertilizer granules on a level lawn surface means you get a uniform distribution of grass and therefore, better growth. For this reason, always mow first before feeding the lawn. Faster, Healthier Absorption of Nutrients Absorption of nutrients is quicker and easier when the lawn has been cut beforehand. Low-cut grass makes it possible for nutrients to reach the lawn soil and get absorbed. Plant feeding is also healthier as penetration and absorption occurs at a faster rate overall.

  4. Reduces The Risk of Wasting the Fertilizer Applying fertilizer first before mowing the lawn can increase the risk of removing the fertilizer when bagging the grass clippings. Typically, after mowing what comes next is removal of the waste matter. Already dispersed fertilizer can erroneously be packed along with the organic waste if care isn’t taken. For homeowners using lawn maintenance in Austin, ensure that adequate precaution is observed during debris removal after mowing. Improves Soil Contact Mowing the lawn first before adding fertilizer improves nutrient absorption. As the fertilizer liquid or granules get in contact with the soil, absorption is quicker and more efficient. If you’re hiring a lawn care service in Austin, ensure this practice is implemented to give your grass all the help it deserves.

  5. Enhances Grass Recovery Lawn mowing can add a lot of stress to your turf. Fertilizing after the exercise is effective at providing faster recovery due to the added essential nutrients that support leaf and root growth and development. Clean Fertilizer Application Tall grass leaves from un-mowed lawn can obstruct the free dispersal of fertilizer on the lawn causing a mess. Fertilizing after mowing ensures that the plant feed gets to the lawn cleanly without causing any sort of mess on the environment. It’s recommended to hire lawn care in Austin for all your turf maintenance needs to ensure proper care and avoid lawn care mistakes.

  6. When to Get the Best Results for Your Lawn If you’re looking at getting the most amazing outcome for your lawn, there are certain times you must fertilize after mowing the lawn. Consider the following recommendations to make the most out of your lawn: Mostly apply fertilizer on your lawn after mowing during the growing season. This period often falls between spring and early fall for warm season Texas grass. Bermuda grass, Zoysia and St Augustine grass will definitely perform great with this approach. After mowing your lawn and applying fertilizer to improve its nutrient content, watering is a must. If done correctly, watering will fasten how well your plants utilize the extra nutrients. Soaked soil will absorb nutrients faster and efficiently thereby enhancing plant growth, development and productivity.
