A good application of fertilizer is really important to help bring the grass out of its winter dormant phase.
Holder Outdoor consultants would be glad to discuss plans for the long term health of your turf, or estimate a one time application if that is more in line with your priorities. And remember, because we buy in bulk, we can usually provide material and labor for about what you would expect to pay at the home improvement store!
