Fertilizing

Don't Fetilize Your Lawn Again Until It Is Growing Well Fertilizer is provided in the installation process. Hydroseed  will need to be fertilized again the fifth week after installation. The initial fertilizing should be a quick release type. After the first application, use a slow release balance formula to help create a healthy and strong lawn. Ongoing Lawn Fertilization New lawns planted in soil recently mixed with organic matter will require more frequent fertilizing the first 2 years, because decomposing matter ties up nitrogen in the soil (then later releases it). During the active growing season, typically March thru November, it is a good idea to apply a 12-4-8 fertilizer or one with a 3-1-2 ratio every 4-5 weeks once your lawn is established. Winterization of Your Lawn Application of fertilizer in late fall is probably the best time because it stimulates root growth in the dormant months. Watering and Fertilaztion Water well after fertilizing your lawn. "Weed and Feed" type products are not recommended for use on a new lawn until it is six months to one year old. Be sure to read the manufacturers directions.
