| TURFGRASS FERTILIZATION |
Long Island Landscape is a licensed (by NYS Dept of Environmental Control) applicator of lawn treatments. We use the
safest methods to apply treatments to your turfgrass areas. We take care to protect your property, family, pets and the
environment. The result is a high quality turfgrass which resists harmful diseases and insects. Our programs address your
turfgrass nutrient needs (nitrogen, phosphorus, & potassium) as well as the control of weed populations.
SOIL TESTING & FERTILIZATION get to know your soil. We offer a range of convenient soil tests from
simple pH Cornell Test kit to sending the sample out to a lab for in depth analysis. You’ll get an informative report and
recommendations for your soil. We recommend the simple Cornell pH test as a starting point. Often simply correcting the
acid level of your lawn will achieve satisfactory results. For troubled lawns we recommend in depth analysis to obtain
information about the soil such as acidity (pH), the presence of main nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium),
micronutrients and organic matter. It’ll point out any important deficiencies, which we can then take steps to correct. We base
our corrective actions on informed scientific information rather then anecdote. A fertilization program makes more sense with
test results because it allows us to know exactly what needs to be input in order to solve problems.
FERTILIZATION Turf grasses live in an unnatural environment. Grass plants are crowded together and compete with
each other, neighboring trees and shrubs for water and nutrients. This competition is why turf grass needs fertilizer; the soil
needs a constant source of food to supply the plants. When properly fertilized, lawns maintain good color, density and vigor.
Healthy fertilized lawns are less susceptible to insects, weeds and diseases. A well-planned fertilization program is a basic
aspect of proper lawn maintenance. Without testing your lawn and arming ourselves with important facts solving problems is like
shooting in the dark. We provide your lawn with the nutrients it needs for optimum growth. The goal of our program is to
produce a reasonable amount of top growth without adversely affecting root growth. We avoid excessive top growth by using
slow release fertilizers. Slow release fertilizers help give the lawn a continuous feeding. Our fertilizer program addresses your
lawn starting in May and ending in November. We only use golf course grade fertilizers and control products.
