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 might some lawn fertilizers not be labeled safe for pets and kids, and what precautions should I take?

Accepted Answer

Some lawn fertilizers may contain chemical herbicides, high salt or nitrogen content, and additives or coatings that could be harmful if ingested or touched before proper soil absorption. Read the label carefully for instructions, spread the fertilizer evenly to avoid piles pets may eat, water in thoroughly to help move nutrients into the soil and reduce surface residue, and keep pets and kids off the lawn for 24 to 48 hours. We carry options that are safe for kids and safe for pets so that you can protect your lawn and loved ones.

Question 5

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.
