The Best Time to Apply Fertilizers

Wondering about the best time to apply fertilizer? Here are some quick tips from the Greenview Fertilizer website to make it easy for you.

• In the spring, the best time to apply fertilizer is after 3 mowings. Apply .5 to 1 pound of nitrogen per 1000 square feet to support growth and to build-up reserves for summer.
• Cool season grasses go dormant in the summer and fertilizing at this time is not recommended.  If you have a warm season grass, your lawn requires frequent fertilization as it grows all summer and needs the added nutrients to maintain health and color.
• Another important time to fertilize is in the fall to help the grass develop a strong root system. Apply 1.5 to 2.5 pounds of nitrogen per 1000 square feet (Use the higher amount if your lawn is Kentucky bluegrass or perennial ryegrass, soil is sandy, or grass clippings are not returned to the lawn.)
• Check out the Greenview Annual Lawn Plan where lawn care experts provide recommendations for your lawn program.  They even tell you when and how to apply each fertilizer and weed control treatment - so you get the best results.  The Greenview Annual Lawn Plan makes it easy - all you do is push the spreader!

Crabgrass Prevention

Just a heads-up to the procrastinators, it's not too late to prevent ugly crabgrass, dandelions too. Greenview Fairway Formula Spring lawn products can be applied anytime through late-spring and still be effective in killing weeds in your lawn.

The Greenview fertilizer combines several weed control products so that one application prevents crabgrass and kills broadleaf weeds. The special crabgrass preventer used by Greenview can be applied up to 4 weeks later than other crabgrass preventers as well.
