Why does a lawn need nitrogen?
Nitrogen gives grass its dark green color and rich look. Rapidly growing turf uses lots of nitrogen and needs to be replaced in the soil.

What is soil pH?
pH measures the amount of acidity or alkalinity in the soil. Turf grass prefers not to be very acidic, so if a soil test shows acidity, apply limestone to reduce acidity levels in the soil.

How do you get a heavy, thick turf?
Using a four step fertilization program is the best way to have a healthy thick lawn.  It keeps the lawn thick, lush and deep green.

Why are there whitish-gray spots on my lawn in spring?
This is usually caused by heavy snow in the winter. It is called snow mold, and will go away after a light raking, fertilizing, and mowing. This condition is best prevented by mowing the lawn fairly short in the fall.
