If your lawn starts having brown spots, you know that you are going to lose your lawn soon. A ruined lawn is expensive to repair.

To avoid losing your lawn you should seriously consider maintaining it with fertilizer. Without fertilizer not only might you lose your lawn, but you might also prevent your lawn from turning lush and green, recovering from damage due to pests and high traffic, preventing weed growth or you might end up failing to replenish essential nutrients in the soil beneath.

Each of these factors is very important to consider aside from losing your lawn entirely. Without fertilizer you will have a lawn that depresses those who walk by it.

If your one of those people that loves to have children playing in your lawn but does not like to fertilize the lawn, you will find that both are interconnected. This would be like trying to light a fire without even bothering to gather fire wood.

Further a lush green lawn will impress your friends. Nothing is more embarrassing than inviting your friends to a barbecue at your house while the grass looks like it was imported from a dump.

Avoid this mistake and you will be as cool as someone who drives a Ferrari; you will have class. Not only would you get lush green grass but you will also have healthy grass that can resist pests and is capable of resisting damage from high traffic.

Pests and human traffic can ruin a lawn. Pests act on instinct, obeying natural reflexes which are destructive to any lawn.

A great example of pests is the cinch bug. The cinch bug is a simple beetle that loves to eat the roots of Saint Augustine grass.

During summer months they munch away at weak grasses that cannot put up a good fight. Fertilizing your lawn will protect it from cinch bugs, which ultimately save you yard work of trouble.

High traffic can make lawn grass look unorganized and low-priced. Fertilizers will make the grass grow thicker which allows it to put up a good fight with human feet.

Without fertilizers pests, children, or outdoor party goers can devastate a lawn, costing you a nasty couple hundred dollars out of your back pocket. Preventing weeds is yet another plus that you get from using fertilizer on your lawn.

Weeds are like a cancer, they make your lawn look like wild Savannah. Poor lawn quality attracts cheaper house appraisals and will even attract criminals on your property.

Weeds on a lawn are like a sign that says: trespassers welcome. Worse yet, weeds make you turn into Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz; they make you feel like there is literally no place like home.

Last of all, fertilizers make healthy soil, healthy soil makes healthy grass. Fertilizers work with the soil on a biological level, giving you green grass and resistant grass.
