When Is the Best Time to Fertilize Your Lawn?

A good lawn fertilizer schedule should consist of multiple treatments per year. Knowing when to fertilize your lawn (which seasons) depends on what kind of grass you have, warm season or cool season grass.

• Warm season grasses – Fertilize just after spring starts, when everything begins to grow, and again towards the end of the summer.

• Cool season grasses – Fertilize right after the lawn starts coming back from winter dormancy. Fertilize it again during the beginning of the fall season.  

See our lawn care schedule page for information on warm and cool season lawn care.

How to Fertilize Your Lawn

It is recommended with almost any fertilizer to mow your lawn before treating it. Don’t wait more than a few days after mowing your lawn to apply the fertilizer. If your lawn is new, you’ll want to wait until you’ve mowed it at least a few times before applying the first treatment of lawn fertilizers. 

Remember, only warm season grasses should be fertilized during summer months.

Liquid vs. Granular Fertilizer

Knowing what fertilizer to use depends on several factors. See the pros and cons of the two main types of fertilizer below:

Liquid 
o Pros – works quickly, actual chemicals cost less
o Cons – cost of sprayers, doesn’t last as long 
Granular
o Pros – lasts longer, lower equipment cost, easy to apply
o Cons – more lawn prep required (cutting & watering), cleanup from overspill

Applying Granular Fertilizers

If you’re using a granular fertilizer you’ll need to wet down your lawn (after it’s been mowed) thoroughly with the hose. Right after it rains, or in the early morning hours when there is still dew on the grass are also good times to apply granular fertilizers. With granular fertilizers it’s important to make sure your lawn is wet enough before, and within 24 hours after, the treatment so the granules can properly dissolve into the grass roots and won’t burn your lawn. 

You can also use weed and feed fertilizers that allow you to kill weeds and fertilize at the same time.

Granular Spreaders

To spread the granular fertilizer evenly, you’ll need a spreader. Make sure to check the directions of the fertilizer you are using to know which number setting to adjust your spreader to.

The 3 main spreader options are:

• broadcast spreader (rotary spreader)
• drop spreader 
• hand spread

Broadcast spreaders (Rotary spreaders) are good for larger areas where you don’t have to be as careful about overspill. Some rotary spreaders have side guards to help prevent overspill.

Drop spreaders are good for smaller areas of grass that line gardens and other areas where you don’t want to accidentally spread the fertilizer.

Hand spreaders are compact rotary spreaders that you can use to treat smaller areas. 

Applying Liquid Fertilizers

Many people like to use liquid fertilizers because they are easy to apply, and work quickly. Applying them is simply a matter of using a liquid container that hooks up to your hose. Make sure to spray evenly.

Liquid Sprayers

See our sprayers page for more information.

Liquid Fertilizer Mixture Ratio

Most of the liquid fertilizers we sell come in 2.5 gallon jugs. Generally speaking, the yield is about 1,000 square feet of coverage for every 22 ounces of fertilizer. Since 2.5 US gallons = 320 US fluid ounces, a 2.5 gallon jug would yield roughly 14,500 square feet of coverage (320 / 22 = 14.5 x 1,000 = 14,500 square ft.). The average .25 acre lot is about 10,000 square feet.
