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

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.
