Fertilization FAQs

When Can I Mow My Lawn After Fertilizing?

Yes you can mow your yard after fertilization depending on the type of fertilizer used. For liquid fertilizer, we always recommend waiting 24-48 hours before cutting your lawn. However, after a granular fertilizer, you can mow right away. When mowing, always allow the clippings to return to the ground unless the lawn has grown too tall.

When Is The Best Time To Fertilize My Lawn?

This depends on whether you have cold-season or warm-season grass. If you have a cold-season grass like fescue, fertilize two weeks after it starts to green in the fall. For warm-season grasses like bermuda, fertilize two weeks after it starts to green in the spring.

Should I Water My Lawn After Fertilizing? If So, When?

Yes, you should wait 24 hours after fertilizing to water your lawn. Then, when you do water your lawn, it should get a consistent water flow for a couple of hours so it thoroughly sinks in.

How Often Should You Fertilize Your Lawn?

The frequency of lawn fertilization depends on the type of grass and soil conditions. Generally, a lawn should be fertilized every 5-6 weeks during the growing season. However, at Fairway Green, we customize the fertilization schedule based on a detailed analysis of your lawn to ensure optimal health and growth.

Can You Place Grass Seeds and Fertilize at the Same Time?

Yes, you can apply grass seeds and fertilizer simultaneously, but it requires careful coordination. The type of fertilizer and seeding method must be compatible to ensure effective growth. Our lawn care experts can provide guidance and services to achieve the best results for your lawn.

Does Rain Effect When a Lawn Should Be Fertilized?

Rain can influence the timing of fertilization. Ideally, fertilizing should be done when a light rain is expected, as it helps the soil absorb the nutrients. However, heavy rain can wash away the fertilizer. We monitor weather patterns to choose the best time for fertilization, ensuring your lawn receives maximum benefit.
