The Best Fertilization Program for Your Lawn
A lush, green lawn in Arlington, TX doesn't happen by accident. With our region's fluctuating weather patterns, dense clay-heavy soil, and long hot summers, your grass needs more than just water and sunshine to thrive. A strategic, professionally managed fertilization program is key to growing and maintaining a healthy, resilient lawn year-round.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the importance of proper lawn fertilization in North Texas, how our customized services make a difference, and why DIY approaches often fall short.
Why Lawn Fertilization Matters in North Texas
Fertilization is more than just feeding your grass—it's essential for creating a dense root system, supporting color and structure, and improving resistance to weeds, insects, and drought.
In North Texas, lawns often suffer from:
- Nutrient-poor soil due to clay content and compaction
- Unpredictable weather including drought and excessive rain
- High summer temperatures that put stress on turf
Fertilization replenishes the nutrients that are naturally depleted by these conditions. A tailored approach ensures your lawn receives the right mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and micronutrients.
Our Seasonal Fertilization Plan
At Trees Hurt Too Inc., we’ve developed a data-driven, seasonal fertilization plan customized for Arlington’s unique climate and soil profile. Our program includes:
Early Spring Fertilization
- Stimulates root development after dormancy
- Encourages early green-up
- Prepares lawn for upcoming heat and growth cycles
Late Spring/Summer Maintenance
- Builds heat and drought tolerance
- Controls surge growth for balanced health
- Delivers nutrients for color, density, and resilience
Fall Recovery Feeding
- Rebuilds roots damaged by summer stress
- Strengthens turf before dormancy
- Boosts carbohydrate storage for winter survival
Soil-Specific Blends
- Every treatment is matched to your soil composition
- Adjustments made based on pH, density, organic matter, and seasonal rainfall
Our lawn care and ornamental care programs are built to support the entire landscape—not just the grass.

Why DIY Fertilization Often Falls Short
Many homeowners try to tackle fertilization themselves, but without proper soil testing and timing, DIY efforts may do more harm than good. Common mistakes include:
- Over-fertilizing, leading to lawn burn or excessive growth
- Using the wrong blend of nutrients for your grass type and soil
- Applying at the wrong time, which reduces effectiveness or encourages disease
- Ignoring soil pH, which affects nutrient uptake
