Question 1

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 2

Which lawn fertilizers are the best selling?

Accepted Answer

The 36 lbs. Fairway Formula Spring Fertilizer Weed and Feed and Crabgrass Preventer, Covers 10,000 sq. ft. (24-0-6) 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

Can you help me choose a fertilizer based on my grass type?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Your local garden and lawn pros at The Home Depot are always here to help you choose the best fertilizer for your grass type. Shop online or visit your local store for a wide range of fertilizers with unique options formulated to fit your specific lawn. We carry options to suit fescue, bluegrass, and centipede so that you can enjoy a healthy, vibrant lawn.

Question 4

What's the difference between a "weed and feed" product and a fertilizer designed to strengthen roots?

Accepted Answer

Weed and feed combines fertilizer with herbicides to nourish your lawn while controlling existing weeds, saving you time and effort. A fertilizer designed to strengthen roots features a higher phosphorus and potassium blend, delivering pure nutrition for strong roots and a foundation for healthy growth and resilience without targeting weeds.

Question 5

When is the best time to fertilize my lawn?

Accepted Answer

The best time to fertilize your lawn depends on your grass type and time of year. Apply cool-season grass fertilizer once in the early spring to help your lawn recover from winter, and again in fall for root growth and winter prep. Apply warm-season grass fertilizer once in the late spring to early summer when your grass is fully green and actively growing, and again in mid-summer. Never fertilize your lawn during a drought or extreme heat, and always water your lawn after applying fertilizer unless you are using a liquid product.
