Lawn Fertilizer FAQs

Do I need to water my lawn right away after the fertilizer is applied?

No, it is not necessary, even if it is extremely hot.

How long does it take for the fertilizer to start working? How will I know?

About 5-10 days. The grass will become a deeper green and increased growth.

Will my lawn mower suck up all the granular fertilizer if it is mowed the same day?

No. The fertilizer is made up of tiny, microencapsulated granules that fall down into the root bed of the grass. Lawn Mowers do not have the power to suck up the tiny granules.

Is the fertilizer safe for pets?

Yes. Products must undergo extensive testing and comply with rules set by the State and Federal levels before they are approved for use. After every application your technician will sweep or blow off granules that went were they should not have, i.e., patio, concrete walkway, porch, deck etc.
