What GreenMaker Is Applying Now: Iron Fertilizer

Each season, GreenMaker carefully selects treatments based on your lawn's specific needs. Right now, we're applying iron fertilizer — a powerful product that enhances lawn color without forcing fast growth. Here’s why it’s part of your lawn’s care plan this month.


๐ŸŒฟ Why Iron?

Iron is a micronutrient that plays a key role in helping grass produce chlorophyll — the pigment that gives your lawn its green color. Unlike nitrogen-based fertilizers, iron green-ups your lawn without encouraging excessive growth. That means less mowing, better heat tolerance, and a vibrant, healthy look.

 

๐Ÿงช What to Expect After Treatment

  • Greener lawn within 3–5 days
  • No surge in mowing or overgrowth
  • Improved color in heat-stressed or pale areas
  • Safe for kids and pets once dry

We take care to keep off sidewalks and hard surfaces, but please note: iron can cause rust stains on concrete if not rinsed off quickly.
