Fertilization Programs

• Cool season grass: Fescue is regarded as a cool season grass that tries to stay green all year making it a popular aesthetic choice for Triangle residents.

Fertilization FAQs

When Can I Mow My Lawn After Fertilizing?

Following a liquid fertilizer, we 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.
