Lawn Fertilization in San Antonio, TX
The consistent warm weather in San Antonio means that many of our lawns don't have the nutrients they require to grow green and healthy. Also, as a homeowner, it can be difficult to determine when you should fertilize your lawn and how much fertilizer you should be using. Instead of playing the guessing game with your lawn, turn to ABC Home & Commercial Services for lawn fertilization in San Antonio.
At ABC, we believe we have a responsibility to be good stewards of our environment. That means the use of as few chemical-based products as possible. Instead, we believe that the best lawn is a truly healthy lawn – one that’s has good soil nutrients and one where the health of the turf is the ultimate goal.
So, the products we use – more often than not – are organic, non-chemical compounds that are designed to promote overall lawn health. It’s important to note that although we use products rich in nutrients, that doesn’t mean there will always be a quick “green-up.” Many chemical-based products commonly available at the big box stores are designed for a quick green-up, but don’t necessarily strive for overall, long-term health of the yard. It’s kind of like treating the symptom of a problem without actually treating the problem.
Borrowing a term from health care – we take a “holistic” approach, designed to benefit the overall health of your lawn, resulting in an attractive yard in an environmentally conscientious manner.

We can turn your vision for your yard into reality.
Our lawn care specialists can do a lot to make your lawn the outdoor “carpet” you desire. Our lawn specialists will apply natural-based products to your lawn. These nutrients include both fast-acting and slow-release materials, along with added nitrogen sources, and provide your lawn with the nutrients it needs for to help it look healthy, year round.
Proper mowing is also important to maintaining a healthy lawn, and we can work with you to create a healthy schedule. We can also introduce native grass seeds, or lay new grass sod if needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What products do you use and are they environmentally friendly?
We use prefer to use natural-based nutrients (fertilizers) on your lawn. These nutrients include both fast-acting and slow-release materials, along with added nitrogen sources, and provide your lawn with the nutrients it needs for consistent growth and color from spring through fall.
We strive to use only environmentally friendly materials and fertilizers, having made the decision some years ago to move away from chemical-based fertilizers. However, depending on the particular issue in any given lawn, other, stronger products may be discussed with you.
Are you able to provide weed control for lawns?
A healthy lawn and a weed-free lawn go hand in hand. If a lawn is healthy and thriving, most weeds will be choked out. So yes, weed care is included in our regular schedule of treating your lawn. Additionally, when we choose a weed control product, it will be used only when and where necessary to gain maximum results.
This approach may require more patience, but we have found it is the best approach for lawn care in our communities.
Can turf enrichment be added to a regular lawn mowing service?
We can add any of our lawn related services to our ongoing lawn mowing service. Turf enrichment (fertilization) can be discussed, priced and included into your lawn package, as designed by your lawn inspector.
Any other turf building options?
Yes, we recommend regular applications of compost. Compost is organic material applied directly onto the lawn and is designed to improve the overall health of the turf. We would typically recommend aeration with compost, and we suggest it be done twice a year – typically in the Fall and Spring.

“After noticing damage to a recently completed stone tree border in my yard I concluded it was most likely a lawn mower, as there was what appeared to be a tire mark near the damage. ABC does my lawn and when I brought it their attention they scheduled Joel to inspect the damage. Joel and I discussed the damage and we both agreed it was more than likely caused by a lawn mower. Joel assured me ABC would take responsibility for the damage. I contacted the contractor that installed the border to provide an estimate but they were slow to respond. ABC informed me they have craftsmen who could repair the border and I agreed to allow them to do the work. I wasn't home when they showed up to do the work but my wife was impressed when they showed up as scheduled, informed her why they were there and notified her when the job was done. They were very courteous. I inspected the work when I got home and was very impressed with the repair. ABC handled the situation from my notification to their repair in a professional manner. I was left thinking I hired the wrong company to do the initial border installation. ABC's quality of work exceeded that of the contractor and their professionalism was top-notch! I recommend ABC to anyone seeking work within the purview of their craftsmen.”
