Same-Day Delivery - Lawn Fertilizers - The Home Depot

Question 1

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.

Question 2

When should I use an all-purpose lawn fertilizer versus a fertilizer designed to green my lawn quickly?

Accepted Answer

An all-purpose lawn fertilizer is perfect for general maintenance, giving your lawn a balanced blend of nutrients to support steady growth throughout the season. For a rapid improvement in color, select a quick greening fertilizer specifically formulated to deliver a fast boost of nitrogen. However, expect an all-purpose fertilizer to provide longer-lasting benefits.

Question 3

Are there specific fertilizers for different grass types?

Accepted Answer

Different grass types vary in their nutrient needs and growth patterns. The best fertilizer for you is the one specifically formulated for your unique grass type, delivering the optimal balance of nutrients for healthy growth, color, and resilience against stress and diseases. Ready for a more vibrant and long-lasting lawn? Choose from fertilizers made for both cold and warm-season grasses, including specialty formulas designed for new lawns, cold weather tolerance, and weed control.

Question 4

How often should I fertilize my lawn?

Accepted Answer

The right application frequency depends on your type of grass, soil health, and choice of fertilizer. Fertilize cool-season lawns like Kentucky bluegrass, fescue, and ryegrass two to four times a year, in early and late spring and fall. Fertilize warm-season grasses like Bermuda, Zoysia, and St. Augustine three to five times per year, in late spring, mid and late summer, and early fall. Apply slow-release fertilizers once every eight to ten weeks, and quick-release fertilizers once every four to six weeks.
