Fertilizer
Nutrients in the soil are important for growing and maintaining a beautiful, healthy yard. We will test your soil for levels of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus.
• Lawn Nitrogen – produces dark green foliage, stimulates vegetable growth and a thick green lawn
• Phosphorus – benefits flowers and promotes healthy seed germination
• Potassium – helps in the formation of carbohydrates in plants which results in healthy stalks and disease resistant
  growth

Common types of fertilizer
• Ammonium phosphate – best used as a pre-plant soil amendment for new lawns and flower and vegetable beds
• Sulfate of ammonia – nitrogen fertilizer used for leafy vegetable crops, grapes, spring lawns, trees and shrubs
• Ammonium nitrate – used for winter lawns
• Balanced fertilizers –general fertilizing or large scale fertilizing
• Complete fertilizers - these have the necessary nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus as well as a few other nutrients for   lawns, flowers, vegetables, shrubs and trees
• Time or slow release fertilizers – use these infrequently to deliver nutrients evenly over a long period of time

Weeds
Any plant or grass that is growing where it is not wanted is a weed. There are 2 types of weed killers (herbicides), selective and nonselective.
Selective herbicides will kill the weeds listed on the label and will be harmless to other plants.
Nonselective herbicides will severely hurt or kill other plants as well as the unwanted weeds.
Grassy Weeds: Bermuda, Crabgrass
Broadleaf Weeds: Dandelion, Bur Clover, Dallis Grass Mallow, Purslane, Spurge

Stresses for desert plants
•  Improper location -
   The improper location of a plant can cause burned leaves and discolored or cracked bark
   To prevent this from occurring, learn the needs and tolerances of your plants
   If you have a plant that is improperly located, move or replace it with something better suited to that area
•  Improper watering -
   Improper watering habits can cause wilting, scorched or burned leaves and new leaves with a yellow coloring
   Water your plants based on the individual plant needs
   Contact the Southern Nevada Water Authority for a watering guide
•  Improper fertilization -
   Over-fertilizing can cause blackened or scorched leaves and excessive leaf dropping
   Under-fertilization can cause yellow coloring of the plant, small stunted leaves on the tips of branches and little or no
   yield of fruit or vegetables
   This problem can be solved by having the right fertilizer at the right time of the year and following the instructions on the
