Mahtomedi requires a thoughtful approach to fertilizing. Mahtomedi's lakefront orientation shapes every aspect of lawn care here. Properties closest to White Bear Lake sit on sandy, glacially deposited soil that drains almost too quickly, pulling nutrients away from grass roots before they can be absorbed. Our technicians adjust their techniques for these local conditions. Every fertilizing treatment is timed based on actual Mahtomedi weather and soil temperatures.
The Challenge
A Warner Avenue homeowner was applying standard fertilizer rates but their sandy lakefront soil couldn't retain the nutrients between applications. The lawn yellowed by mid-cycle every time.
