Fertilizing Tips

How to Fertilize Your Lawn

Use fertilizing as part of a practical lawn-care plan after your sod has had time to establish.

Fertilizing should support turf health without overdoing growth. Timing, product choice, watering, and variety all matter.

Let New Sod Root First

New sod care starts with water and establishment. Avoid aggressive fertilizing before the lawn is ready.

Match the Product to the Turf

Different turf varieties and soils may call for different nutrient approaches.

Water Properly

Fertilizer and watering work together. Follow product directions and local watering conditions.

Avoid Excess Growth

More fertilizer is not always better. Excessive growth can create more clippings and stress.
