The Benefits of Fertilizing Your Lawn
Every lawn can benefit from a regular fertilizer program. No matter what type of grass you have, it relies on certain nutrients to grow and thrive — specifically, nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium.
Nitrogen is the primary nutrient your lawn needs for even growth and overall well-being. It’s used for internal processing, so maintaining the right levels is a constant need. Meanwhile, phosphorus assists with key energy processes, including photosynthesis and respiration. Potassium is also necessary for lawn health and growth. It aids in processes like cell division.
Fertilizing with the right type and amount of nutrients – at the right time – is essential. Some of the benefits of professional lawn fertilizer services for residential and commercial properties in Omaha, Nebraska include:
- Increased oxygen production: The healthier your lawn is, the easier it will be for it to produce ideal oxygen levels.
- Fewer weeds: Fertilizer helps support the growth and density of your lawn. With strong grass as a foundation, it will be harder for weeds to take over.
- Resistance to pests: Unhealthy lawns are more susceptible to different kinds of insects and pests. These pests can cause extensive damage to your lawn and the rest of your landscaping. Preventing them is easier than removing them once they settle in, so make proper fertilization a priority.
- Reduced-risk pesticides: A reduced-risk lawn care program uses fewer toxic products and is less likely to endanger human health or cause groundwater contamination. Nature’s Helper’s program isn’t harmful to honeybees – an important pollinator.
- Fewer disease issues: With the proper lawn fertilizer program — a plan to water, mow and feed your lawn — you can help it resist fungal diseases.

Lawn Fertilizer FAQs
Why Do I Need a Lawn Fertilizer Program?
Lawn fertilization programs from Nature’s Helper do for lawns what a regular fitness routine does for your health. Fertilizing your lawn is an ongoing process, and you need to keep it up and adjust your program occasionally to keep your lawn looking its best.
A lawn fertilizer program takes a lot of time and worry out of the equation. Your lawn looks terrific and stays healthy because there is a system in place to give it the nutrients and care it needs. With professionals checking on your lawn and making adjustments, you get the results you want without having to remember to care for your green space.
It’s a great way to keep your lawn looking great year after year when you start up your system.
How Long Do You Need to Stay off Your Lawn After It’s Been Fertilized?
It is important to read the directions on fertilizer to know how long you have to wait. You can also ask your lawn care specialist when it is safe to venture on the grass.
In general, it is best to stay off the lawn until a liquid product is completely dried or the granules are watered in and allowed to dry. This usually takes about 24 hours, although it also depends on the weather. Rain can help granular lawn fertilizer absorb faster while the sun can help liquid fertilizer dry faster.
If you have small children or pets, you might want to be extra cautious about letting them onto the lawn. Similarly, if there is someone in your household with a compromised immune system, you may wish to wait longer. Consider waiting at least 48 hours, or at least 24 hours after you no longer see fertilizer granules.
Is Lawn Fertilizer Safe for Pets and Animals?
Lawn fertilizer contains chemicals that can cause vomiting and even seizures if pets ingest them. However, a lawn is safe for pets after fertilizer has been absorbed. If you have pets, discuss fertilizer safety with your lawn care expert and always read the package directions on any fertilizer you use to determine how long to keep your pet indoors.
Should You Water Your Lawn Before or After Fertilizer is Applied?
You should water your lawn after fertilizer gets applied.
Do You Need to Be Home for Lawn Fertilizer Application?
No. However, you must allow Nature’s Helper lawn experts to have access to your property. This may mean leaving gates open. In addition, you will need to keep pets inside on the day of your appointment to allow lawn professionals to care for your lawn.
How Quickly Can You Expect to See Results After Lawn Fertilizer Application?
If your lawn is healthy and in great shape, you may see results relatively soon. If you have weeds, or your lawn needs some considerable work, it can take a few weeks to see an improvement. Your Nature’s Helper lawn expert can discuss when you’ll see results and offer progress reports. Even as you wait, your lawn will get the nutrients it needs to grow healthier.
What Crabgrass Control Do You Need?
Crabgrass is an especially persistent type of weed that can produce up to 150,000 seeds per plant. The best way to control crabgrass is to prevent it. A fertilizer with a crabgrass control agent tackles the weed on two fronts. First, it contributes to a lush lawn, which can choke out crabgrass. Second, it discourages crabgrass from germinating.
What Are the Benefits of Nature’s Helper’s Premium Fertilizer Program?
Our program is the easiest way to help ensure your lawn is in great shape all year. If you want your lawn to look great but you don’t always have time to care for it, this is the program for you.
This program features the use of Duration fertilizers, which release slowly over months and avoid spikes in Nitrogen that can cause uneven growth and disease issues. We also use Acelepryn, a reduced-risk pesticide, for grub control to keep you, your family, and your pets as safe as possible while keeping the lawn free of grubs and other damaging insects.
How Does the Release of Nitrogen Help My Lawn?
Why is nitrogen so important to this fertilizer? Nitrogen is a key component in chlorophyll, the substance plants use to draw energy from the sun. It is present in a far higher concentration in plants than any other nutrient. Nitrogen is a critical component in the life and growth of grass and other plants. While we can draw nitrogen easily from the air, grass cannot, which is why it is so important to get it into the soil.
Why Choose Nature’s Helper? How Is This Different From Other Fertilizer Programs?
Our fertilizer program uses industry-leading Duration Fertilizer, which we believe is the best fertilizer you can use on your lawn. Its slow-release nitrogen compound allows a constant flow of nitrogen to enrich the soil and feed your grass. We’ve also selected Acelepryn due to its enhanced safety for people, pets, and honeybees. Honeybees are a vital part of our environment and we believe that as professionals we have a duty to consider the impact our applications have on our ecosystem.
Our program is designed to get you the beautiful, weed-free lawn of your dreams in a way that is safe for you, your family, and your neighbors.
