"Company bought my contract mid season last year from an individual I used for 15 years without a single issue. 2nd application they spread too much fertilizer and burnt 70% of my lawn, dead! When told to remedy it, owner admitted a inexperienced operator of new equipment, showed up with grass seed and threw it over dead grass which obviously didn't take. Waited all season before dealing with it myself and now just had to order top soil and spent the last 2 days fixing his mess. Don't hire. Business is a side hustle to the owner so not 100% dedicated to customer service. Photos are what's been redone so far with topsoil, myself. Not a single offer to fix the lawn properly but had nerve to call and request contract renewal this season. NOPE!"

Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

The best type of fertilizer depends on the type of grass and your desired end result. Generally speaking, slow-release fertilizers are best for grass, as they gradually release nutrients into your soil instead of all at once, which meets the needs of many grass types. However, the tradeoff is that slow-release fertilizers contain phosphorus, which negatively impacts local water quality. Also, some grasses require different formulations to meet the demands of the soil. Test your soil to see how acidic or alkaline it is before choosing a fertilizer. 

Despite being moderately high-maintenance, St. Augustine grass is popular for several reasons. The biggest properties that make this grass a winner for southeastern lawns include its salt, heat, humidity, and shade tolerance. This grass species is excellent for coastal regions with high humidity, mild winters, and salty skies. It’s also easy to establish in yards.

Look for a broadleaf herbicide, one that has been formulated specifically for dandelions and is considered grass-safe.

How often you should fertilize your lawn depends on its health. A healthy, lush lawn with good soil health may only need fertilizing once per year. Other lawns with shallow roots or that have been neglected or overly reliant on fertilizers may need an application as often as every six weeks.

Speeding up grass seed germination is possible, but it requires quite a bit of extra work and commitment. Keeping the soil moist is key, but here are a few other tried-and-true methods for growing your new grass as quickly as possible:

  • Mist grass up to eight times per day to keep the soil moist.

  • Purchase a moisture-retaining seed coating for your grass seeds.

  • Amend soil that is compacted or in the wrong pH range.

  • Choose the right grass seed for your area’s climate and soil conditions.

  • Avoid planting on windy days or during periods of extreme rain or drought.
