Lawn Fertilization and Treatment questions, answered by experts

Dog poop can make a fantastic natural fertilizer, but don’t just whack fresh fido feces onto your lawn. Apart from the smell, health risks, and overall ick factor, poop isn’t good for your grass in its unprocessed form. Its high nitrogen levels mean it can burn or even kill your grass. Correctly composted dog poop, on the other hand, is a much safer, odor-free, and effective way to encourage green lawns and blooming borders.

It’s not required, but it is helpful if your goal is to produce new growth. Any fertilization should occur after the lawn is aerated and before the compost is applied. If you also plan to spread seed, you’ll want to do so after the fertilizer is applied and once the ground is damp, but not wet.

While you may see some germination by simply tossing a handful of new seeds on a lawn, you'll have more success by following the proper reseeding or overseeding process step-by-step. Without properly tilling, mowing, amending the soil, and watering your lawn, the new seed could blow away or simply fail to take root.

St. Augustine is a hardy grass that’s relatively easy to grow, but it requires regular lawn maintenance to stay healthy. It’s best to keep up with a regular fertilization schedule during the growing season, plus a yearly dethatching to help it properly absorb air and moisture. Watering is also important, so be sure to water it enough to keep the soil moist.

Sulfur is a secondary nutrient that helps grass grow lush and green. It combines  primary nutrients including nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Sulfur helps the grass absorb nutrients to create a lush, green appearance. While sulfur isn’t necessary for every lawn, it can help most lawns be stronger and greener.
