One of the most important things your landscaping in Kansas City needs is proper fertilizer. Selecting the right fertilizer and spreader ensures that your grass will grow healthy and strong throughout the months ahead.

If you’d like a lawn as green as our clients‘ yards you’ve probably seen around town, here are some things you should be thinking about before you make a trip to our garden center:
- Rotary spreaders are great for spreading dry, granular fertilizers. They work by spreading a broad pattern across your lawn as the spreader moves forward. These work well on large lawns.
- Drop fertilizers are ideal for spreading uneven materials such as mulch and compost. If you select this type of fertilizer, be sure to overlap your passes to ensure that you don’t miss any spots as you push the spreader forward.
- Liquid fertilizer spreaders are attached to garden hoses and spray dissolved fertilizer wherever you point the hose. These work best for light fertilization as long as you remember to spread the application evenly. Because the liquid is clear, you’ll want to be extra careful about missing any spots.
