RESIDENTIAL

Have your soil tested prior to fertilizer application. Phosphorus is needed to promote root growth, and once a lawn is established the need for additional phosphorus is highly unlikely.

Keep your sidewalks, driveways, and streets free from grass clippings, leaves, chemicals, and trash.

When it rains the pollutants on the street flow to the storm sewer system and eventually ends up in our ponds, lakes, streams, and rivers.

Phosphorus promotes algae growth in our lakes and streams. This algae intern consumes large quantities of dissolved oxygen, leaving insufficient supplies of oxygen for fish and other aquatic life.
