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.
