Lawns will survive without fertilizer. However, in the absence of fertilizer, a lawn is prone to deteriorate as a result of seasonal stressors and is less likely to fulfill its promised environmental bebefits.

As a lawn runs short of nutrients, the first thing to go is color.  The luscious green fades. Over time, the lawn thins and loses resiliency, and eventually thin spots provide space for weeds to move in. Deficient grass is vigorous, and if diseases and insects attack, it may not survive the damage.

Although it's true that the more fertilizer a lawn receives the better it looks, overfeeding can cause problems. Over fertilizing stimulates leaf growth at the expense of the roots. With a thin, shallow root system, the lawn can't stand up to heat or drought. The succulent shoots are easy prey for diseases and insects. In addition, over fertilizing promotes thatch.
