Fertilization
- What is this service?
Fertilization involves distributing nutrients to the turf through an even application of granular pellets. Starting with the backyard, while working their way towards the front, our team uses a broadcast spreader to disperse the fertilizer. Once the fertilization application is complete, the crew will blow off the sidewalks, driveways, and hardscape to remove excess pellets.
The fertilizer we use is Richlawn Prorich 14-2-5 2FE 4S, it is a granular fertilizer that doesn’t contain weed killers or pesticides as it is a feed-only fertilizer.
- What is actually being done during my service?
Our broadcast spreaders distribute fertilizer in a fan-like pattern in all directions over the turf.
Service Benefits
- As a customer, why should I want this service completed?
Like all living things, your lawn requires nutrients to grow and remain healthy. As your yard pulls these vitamins out of the soil, it is important to replenish them, as nutrient deficiencies can lead to yellowing and stunted growth. This will ensure healthy growth for the seasons to come.

Optimal Timing
- When is the best time of year to have this service completed?
Ideally, fertilization is best when the weather is mild, and your lawn will have access to water within 24 hours.
Service Delivery
- Who performs this service?
Fertilization is performed by our seasonal service crew. This team consists of trained experts who have the knowledge, materials, and tools to perform all seasonal services. - Can this crew perform additional services during my appointment?
To ensure that all clients are serviced with enough time to properly complete their appointment, our routes follow a strict schedule with appropriate time restraints.
We recommend reaching out to our office if you need to add additional services to your appointment. In addition, this crew will not have mowing, installation, or irrigation repair equipment with them for their appointments. - How will I know when my crew is going to arrive?
Upon scheduling an appointment with A Cut Above Landscape, you will receive a confirmation email with your appointment details. On the day of the appointment, you will receive an “our technicians are on their way” text notification 30 minutes prior.
The text message will be sent to the phone number our client provides during scheduling. We recommend confirming that you have selected a mobile number to receive this important message.
Service Delivery
- How can I prepare for my appointment?
We recommend making sure your lawn is clear of excess lawn waste and is short enough to allow the fertilizer to reach the soil.
- Do I need to be home?
We do not require someone to be home at the time of service as long as the crew can access both front and back yards - What will I see at the conclusion of the appointment?
After the service is completed, you may be able to see the granular pellets of the fertilizer at the base of the grass blade. Once the fertilizer interacts with water it is quickly absorbed into the soil, and will no longer be visible to the eye.
Timeline/Frequency
- How long will the service take?
A fertilization service takes at most thirty minutes, depending on the size of the lawn. Our crews have a fertilizer spreader that works best at a walking pace. Our team is trained to create efficient paths to cover the entire surface of the turf, and can often complete this service in less than 15 minutes, with multiple technicians working simultaneously to fertilize the lawn and blow off the excess pellets
- How frequently should I have this service performed? Is this a recurring service?
Fertilization can be performed multiple times a year. We recommend spacing these appointments out by six to eight weeks.

- Can I cancel at any time? Is there a penalty for canceling? How do I cancel/modify my service?
