Fertilization
Fertilizer supports growth when the lawn can use it. Bermuda, Zoysia, and Centipede have different nutrient needs, and cool-season turf follows a different calendar. We consider the grass, condition, and soil-test recommendations before choosing a program. Eight scheduled treatment visits do not mean eight fertilizer applications.

Fertilization FAQs
Should Bermuda or Zoysia receive fall nitrogen?
Routine fall nitrogen is not recommended as warm-season turf approaches dormancy. Tall fescue has a different schedule. Soil-test results help determine whether other amendments are needed.
Will fertilizer fix every thin or yellow lawn?
No. Shade, drainage, compaction, insects, disease, and seasonal dormancy can also cause poor color or growth. Adding nutrients without understanding the cause can waste money or worsen the problem.
When can children and pets return?
Follow the instructions provided for that application. Re-entry requirements vary by product; do not assume every treatment is ready after a fixed number of hours.
