Question 1

What type of lawn fertilizers are available?

Accepted Answer

There are three main types of fertilizers: granular, liquid, and organic. Each one is designed for different needs and conditions. Slow-release granular fertilizers deliver nutrients to your lawn gradually over time, keeping your grass healthy and vibrant with fewer applications. For fast green-up, select a quick-release blend designed to deliver nutrients immediately, but with more frequent applications. Liquid fertilizers absorb quickly for rapid results, while organic formulas improve soil health and microbial activity. We also carry synthetic fertilizers for fast, predictable results, and specialty formulas for specific lawn conditions, grass types, and seasons.

Question 2

Which lawn fertilizers are the best selling?

Accepted Answer

The Lawn Food 32 oz. Liquid Lawn Fertilizer Feed and Sustain 14-0-14 Ready To Spray (3,200 sq. ft.) is one of our best-selling lawn fertilizers. It's a consistent favorite among homeowners and landscapers alike, and we're sure you'll love using it to power up your garden, plants, and lawn season after season.

Question 3

How do I know which fertilizer my lawn needs?

Accepted Answer

Start with a soil test to identify nutrient deficiencies and pH levels. This extra step prevents over-fertilization and ensures you choose the right formula. Then choose a fertilizer that matches your grass type and season. Select a high nitrogen fertilizer for green-up, a starter fertilizer for new lawns, and a winterizing blend for fall protection. Cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass and fescue need more nitrogen in spring and fall, while warm-season grasses like Bermuda and Zoysia need nitrogen during summer growth. Consider specialty blends for certain conditions like a weed and feed product, organic blend, or a pet and kid safe formula.

Question 4

Why is it important to choose a lawn fertilizer compatible with my specific grass type, such as St. Augustine or Tall Fescue?

Accepted Answer

Different grass types have different nutrient needs, sensitivities, and growth habits. Choosing the right fertilizer ensures proper nutrient balance, safe herbicide compatibility, and a healthier, greener lawn year-round, while choosing the wrong fertilizer can harm your lawn instead of helping it. We carry fertilizers specifically formulated for your grass type, such as St. Augustine and Tall Fescue to bring your lawn the ideal balance of nutrients to thrive with healthy growth, vibrant color, and improved resistance to pests and diseases.
