Fertilizers

To bring a beautiful, healthy lawn to fruition, you need to craft a plan and then execute accordingly! An essential part of that process is selecting the right lawn fertilizer for the job. Reinders carries many effective and affordable products to make feeding your lawn a breeze thanks to our versatile product range, from urea to organic to pre-emergent fertilizers.

Once you assess what nutrients are currently in the soil surrounding the project area, you can consider what types of fertilizers will work best for your specific needs and get shopping!

Choosing the right fertilizer begins with understanding what nutrients reside in the soil— achieved with a soil test.

Unfertilized lawns rely on getting their nutrients through the area's soil, but that could be problematic for areas undergoing heavy construction or around newly built properties. Although your soil supplies grass with some of the nutrients it needs to thrive, there's simply not enough to last through an entire, successful growing season.

By understanding and evaluating the kind of soil you're working with, you'll be better equipped to choose the right type of fertilizer for your project.

Lawn fertilizers replace lost nutrients in the soil to keep your lawn healthy, green, and lush. It promotes new leaf and root growth thanks to a cycle of nutrients like phosphorus, potassium, and nitrogen. This nutrient-rich substance also encourages a healthy ecosystem in your lawn, consisting of helpful bugs and other garden dwellers.

Contributing Nutrients in Fertilizers
Check out the three primary nutrients that contribute to your grass and turf's health:

• Nitrogen (N)- Found in most commercial fertilizers, nitrogen is an important component the gives plants their beautiful, natural green look. It supplies food to the grass and enhances growth.

• Phosphorus (P)- Enhancing root growth and flowering, phosphorus works to encourage plant roots to grow stronger and deeper.

• Potassium (K)- Important for flowering and fruiting, potassium supports protein synthesis and supports the growth process.

Reinders carries numerous products that differ in nutrient types, release times, and nutrient amounts to best cater to all types of grass. Browse an extensive array of fertilizers from the industry's top leading brands below!

Straight fertilizers only contribute a single nutrient to the grass. It's a straightforward and affordable option for fertilization. However, it won't necessarily give you the luscious, green yard you're after unless you mix it with other types of fertilizers for a mixed or compound solution! Nonetheless, it's a great starting point for cost-effective fertilization over a large area. Urea is a very common straight fertilizer that provides powerful and effective amounts of nitrogen at the lowest cost!
