Nutrient-poor soil leads to weak, discolored grass that struggles to grow. Without fertilization, weeds can take over and grass growth slows. Over time, lawns lacking essential nutrients develop bare patches, leaving the yard vulnerable to erosion and pest infestations. Seasonal changes, heavy foot traffic, and environmental factors further strip the soil, making it harder for grass to recover. Without consistent feeding, the lawn's overall appearance suffers, impacting both curb appeal and property value.
