Question 1

When should I use each of your seasonal lawn fertilizers?

Accepted Answer

From kick-starting lawn growth after a dormant winter, to maintaining lawn color and health during the summer heat, we've got just the right lawn fertilizer you need for the season ahead. Our lawn fertilizers are specially formulated for use during all-season, spring, and summer to keep your garden and lawn in top condition no matter the time of the year.

Question 2

What does "pre-emergent" mean in the context of lawn fertilizer and weed control?

Accepted Answer

A pre-emergent weed control is a type of herbicide designed to prevent weed seeds from germinating and growing rather than killing existing weeds. This special type of weed control creates a barrier in the soil that prevents weeds from becoming visible, providing a proactive solution before weed problems arise during the growing season. We carry neither pre nor post emergent and post-emergent options to help you target and control some of the most common weeds.

Question 3

Do I need a fertilizer with weed control for dandelions and clover?

Accepted Answer

For dandelion and clover growth, choose a fertilizer with weed control specifically targeting broadleaf weeds. These specialty blends offer an efficient way to nourish your lawn while tackling common invaders in one application.

Question 4

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.
