Fertilizing your lawn is key to keeping a healthy green garden. Applying the right type and amount of fertilizer is important to ensure you don't do more harm than good.

Fertilizing twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, will help keep your grass green and prevent weeds from taking hold. When applying fertilizer, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.  Applying too much fertilizer can damage your grass, while too little will not be effective.

The best time to fertilize your lawn where it would maximize its effectivity, is when the soil temperature is also at its peak for cultivation, around 55 degrees. 

Fertilize just before a rainstorm, so that the rain can help to distribute the fertilizer evenly across the ground and the nutrients become the most efficient.

Application when the soil temperature is warm enough saves you both time and money.  And you need to test your soil before feeding your lawn so you know the right amount of fertilizer to use. 

There should also be a balance between fertilizing and watering your lawn so you don't damage your grass.  Avoid applying during the warmest time of the day to prevent your lawn from burning. With the drought we are experiencing in San Jose and the bay area, regular fertilizing at the appropriate time of the year is essential.

Using the right equipment to disperse the fertilizer around your grass evenly is key to proper fertilization.  Recommended spreader settings or pounds of fertilizer per square foot should be followed.

Lowering spreader settings and dividing your lawns into sections for application makes for a more even fertilization. Checking the amount of fertilizer left inside the spreader is important so you can gauge how much is left and if you've covered enough lawn area.

​It's important to choose a fertilizer that's appropriate for your lawn grass type. Over-fertilizing can do more harm than good, leading to water pollution and chemical runoff.

With a little care and attention, you can keep a healthy green lawn all year long. ​
