Cost of Lawn Fertilization in Milwaukee

On average, lawn fertilization in Milwaukee falls on the lower end of the national range. Lawn fertilization costs between $103 and $343 nationally.

The following factors affect the cost of fertilization:

• Size of your yard (a larger yard will cost more)
• Overwatering (the more you water your lawn, the more fertilizer it will need)
• Bundling other lawn care services with fertilization (which lowers the cost)
• Type of lawn fertilizer (granular, liquid, slow-release, etc.)

When Is the Best Time to Fertilize Your Lawn?

Early fall (around Labor Day) is the best time to fertilize your lawn in Milwaukee because cool-season grasses (the most common grasses in Wisconsin) are growing.

The University of Wisconsin recommends using a fertilizer with at least 25% to 50% slow-release nitrogen to keep water from washing it away and ensuring your grass gets the nutrients it needs.

Lawn Fertilization: DIY or Hire a Pro?

You can fertilize your lawn yourself or hire a professional to do it for you.

If you go DIY, you’ll need to buy fertilizer and a spreader. You’ll also have to do some math to get the mix correct.

Lawn care pros bring the tools, knowledge, and expertise to fertilize your lawn correctly the first time.
