FERTILIZATION
Recommendations
​
-
It is highly recommended that you fertilize with Turf Master’s High Phosphorus fertilizer at the time of installation.
-
Each lawn has different fertilization needs depending on the sod type, environmental conditions, soil type, and maintenance.
-
The first fertilization of the year should be done in March and the last fertilization in mid-October.
-
Bluegrass typically needs fertilization 4 - 5 times per year.
-
Fescue, Fescue blends, and Turf Master Enviroturf™ typically need fertilization 2 - 3 times per year.
-
Canadian Blue Fescue™ typically needs fertilization 1 - 2 times per year.
-
Call or come by Turf Master to find out what Turf Master Fertilizer blend is currently recommended for your lawn.
