​Discover why and how you can use fertilizer in your lawn.
If you have lived long enough in Houston, then you’ll know that most of the soil is made of hard compact clay that provides little to no nutritional value for any growing plants. In order to achieve the iconic look with thick dark green grass, fertilizer is a necessity. In order to ensure the health and continued growth of your shrubs and trees, fertilizer is a must.

​The fertilization of your lawn and shrubs should be handled with care. Too little fertilizer and the effects on your plant life will be minimal to none. On the other hand, too much fertilizer can burn the grass and leave you with spots all over your yard. That’s why we at Green-ER take the responsibility to fertilize your lawn and shrubs with the necessary care and precision needed to elevate your plant life. As a fertilization company, we aim to elevate the appearance and overall health of your lawn and shrubs.

​Upon arrival at your property, a Green-ER technician will measure out the appropriate amount of fertilizer needed to properly cover your whole lawn. We have the experience and understanding of how to properly maintain all the most common grasses found in Houston: St Augustine, Bermuda and Zoysia Grass. As an added measure to assure the proper fertilization of your shrubs, we hand measure the fertilizer for each individual shrub and make certain that our fertilizer isn’t being needlessly spilt and reaching the shrubs where they can make the most use of it.
In the case of larger plants such as palm trees, we also provide fertilization with a special blend of fertilizer made just to help them grow. Now is the time to fertilize your lawn and shrubs and reap the rewards.

​The weather is getting warmer and you are eager to go outside, enjoy your lawn, entertain friends outdoors and see your flowers and plants bloom. However, what you actually see are weeds popping everywhere in the lawn and flower beds and your lawn is not really looking like the dreamy Spring lawn you deserve.

​What probably happened here was that these weeds started germinating at the end of Winter as your lawn was not protected against them and there was no pre-emergent control applied to avoid this issue.

​​

• Start watering the grass and flower beds twice per week at 5 am and again at 6am.  This specific timing will avoid issues with fungus due to our humid weather.
• Grass is starting to grow. Help it by raking dead and dry grass blades and also, by removing tree leaves and dirt.
• Spring is a good time to heavily trim any bushes or trees before it gets too hot. Also, mulching is recommended.
• Inspect your irrigation system now to make sure all areas of the lawn and beds are getting enough water. We will assist you with the irrigation schedule.

One of our goals here at Green-ER is to provide you with the clean weed-free yard and flowerbeds your home deserves. As a weed control company, we endeavor to find the best products to keep your property clean of all weeds. Especially now during the spring months, we at Green-ER want to make sure we are not only removing the weeds from your lawn and flowerbeds, but making sure they won’t germinate again. ​

​Upon arrival at your home a technician with Green-ER will do an inspection of your property to make sure we are correctly handling all your weed control needs on both your lawn and flowerbeds. In order to maintain the necessary upkeep, your home requires that we come out once every month to provide a different service and to check on the progress of previous services. That means that if we see any weeds we can immediately handle them. Our weed control services come as a two part attack on weeds by not only doing a Post-Emergent Weed Control but additionally we also do a Pre-Emergent Weed Control to stop the future germination of weeds in your lawn or flowerbeds.
