Slow-Release Fertilizer for Shrubs & Flower Beds
Your landscape beds need consistent care just like your lawn, and one of the best ways to support strong, vibrant plants is through slow-release fertilization. This method gives your shrubs and flowers a steady stream of nutrients over time, rather than one big rush that fades fast.
How it works
Slow-release fertilizer uses specially coated granules that break down gradually when exposed to moisture and heat. As they dissolve, they release nutrients little by little, giving your plants what they need to grow fuller, stronger, and healthier without overwhelming the roots or soil.
Why we use it for your beds
Consistent feeding: Your flowers and shrubs stay nourished for weeks at a time.
Healthier roots & blooms: Steady nutrients help plants develop deeper roots, fuller foliage, and longer-lasting blooms.
Less burn risk: Because the fertilizer releases slowly, there’s a much lower chance of burning tender plants or overloading the soil.
Fewer touchpoints: One application lasts much longer, so we’re not disrupting your beds every few weeks.
More eco-friendly: Slow-release formulas reduce runoff and leaching, which is good for your plants and the environment.
Our lawn fertilizer treatments are pet-safe!

Frequently Asked Questions About Lawn Fertilization
-
You can and a lot of homeowners do! But it’s easy to overdo it or miss the right timing. If you’re
comfortable reading labels, calibrating a spreader, and keeping up with a schedule, DIY can work. If not, hiring a pro takes out the guesswork (and gives better results long-term). -
Yes, they’re generally safe as long as they’re applied correctly and given time to settle. Most treatments need a short period (often 24 hours or after the first watering) before it’s safe to play on the grass. We always recommend waiting until the product has dried or watered in fully.
-
That depends on your lawn’s condition and the product used. You might notice greener grass within a week, but root-level improvements take more time. Think of it like feeding your lawn a balanced diet; steady, healthy growth beats a short sugar rush.
-
It depends on your grass type. In North Texas, most lawns are warm-season (like Bermuda or St. Augustine), so late spring through summer is ideal. A fall application helps strengthen roots before winter and we use root stimulators during the winter season to promote a quick green up come spring time.
-
It’s best to wait a day or two. If you mow right away, you might disrupt how the fertilizer settles into the soil, especially if it’s granular. Let it absorb first, then resume regular mowing.
-
Yes, watering is key. Many fertilizers need to be watered in to activate the nutrients and carry them into the root zone. If there’s no rain in the forecast, give your lawn a good soak after treatment.
-
Yes, it helps in the long run. A thick, healthy lawn crowds out weeds and makes it harder for them to take root. For active weed problems, though, you’ll want a designated weed control treatment alongside fertilization.
-
Too much of a good thing can burn your grass, especially with quick-release formulas. If you DIY, always follow the label and measure carefully. If you think you’ve overdone it, watering heavily can help flush out excess before it damages the turf.
-
That depends on your lawn’s needs. Most Texas lawns do well with 4-6 feedings a year. You’ll want to space them out with the seasons; spring green-up, early summer, mid-summer, and fall are common touchpoints.
-
It depends on how hands-on you want to be. Hiring a pro means your lawn gets the right product at the right time, applied evenly, with expert eyes checking for problems. If you’re short on time or just want it done right, it’s usually worth it.
