Lawn fertilization
Beautiful, healthy lawns require regular fertilization to stay thick and green. Grass is a voracious user of soil nutrients and without restoring those nutrients in the form of supplemental fertilization, turfgrass will quickly exhaust the essential building blocks for a healthy lawn.
Many people think of lawn fertilizer as lawn food. It's really not. Grass makes its own food by transforming sunlight into food. However, it does use the basic elements found in fertilizer as the tools for making that transformation. There are three major elements to lawn fertilizer: Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium/Potash. There are also other ingredients called micro-nutrients that provide a well-balanced formula of nutrients essential to a healthy, thick vigorous lawn.
Our goal is to provide our lawn and landscape customers unparalleled lawn fertilization and weed control service at competitive rates with flexible payment options. One of the keys to providing such high quality service is communication.
When you become an Eco~Green client, one of our trained Customer Service Representatives will periodically perform comprehensive inspections on your property and contact you throughout the season to discuss current or potential concerns involving your lawn or landscape. We will be working together with you to achieve the lawn and/or landscape you desire.

BROWN
PATCH (optional)
Brown Patch is most common to Bermuda, Centipede Grass, and St.
Augustinegrass especially in areas with high humidity and/or shade. Brown patch commonly
starts as a small spot and can quickly spread outwards in a circular or horseshoe pattern up
to a couple of feet wide. Often times, while expanding outwards, the inside of the circle will
recover, leaving the brown areas resembling a smoke-ring.
After the leaves die in the blighted area, new leaves can emerge from the surviving crowns. On wide-bladed species, leaf lesions develop with tan centers and dark brown to black margins.
This disease can be very active in the spring and fall. It also occurs in areas that receive more than 10 hours a day of wetness for consecutive days.
Brown patch infestation is more severe when the grass is cut to a height less than the optimum for the variety of grass.
