Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Expert answers regarding our lawn fertilization procedures, safety protocols, and results.

How many times per year should my lawn be fertilized?

Most suburban residential lawns thrive on a 4 to 6 application annual program. Cool-season grasses (Kentucky Bluegrass, Fescue) need heavy feeding in the fall and light feeding in spring. Warm-season grasses (Bermuda, St. Augustine, Zoysia) require consistent feeding from late spring through late summer during active growth. Call (800) 501-2841 to speak with a local specialist about the ideal schedule for your specific grass type.

Can DIY fertilizer burn or kill my grass?

Yes. Quick-release high-nitrogen fertilizers applied unevenly or in hot weather can cause chemical desiccation—commonly known as fertilizer burn. This turns the grass yellow or brown in unsightly wheel stripes. Professional applicators use slow-release, coated nitrogen and bio-nutrients that feed grass gradually over 6 to 10 weeks without the risk of burning.

When is the best time of day to apply fertilizer?

Early morning or late afternoon when temperatures are cooler and dew has evaporated is optimal. Granular fertilizers should typically be watered in with 1/4 to 1/2 inch of water within 24 to 48 hours to activate the nutrients in the root zone.

Is lawn fertilizer safe for children and pets?

Yes, modern professional products are safe when applied according to label instructions. As a general rule of thumb, keep pets and children off the lawn until granular products have been watered in and dried, or for 2 to 4 hours following liquid applications.

Will fertilizing my lawn also get rid of weeds?

Fertilizer feeds grass, but thicker grass naturally chokes out weeds. However, existing weeds require selective post-emergent weed control, and annual crabgrass requires pre-emergent barriers. Our comprehensive lawn programs combine precision fertilization with pre-emergent and broadleaf weed treatments in the same visit.
