Pre-Emergent

Question 1

Which fertilizer makes your grass green?

Accepted Answer

Nitrogen is the key nutrient that promotes lush green growth in grass. So, fertilizers higher in nitrogen, like a 20-5-10, are often used to encourage a vibrant green color.

Question 2

How do I choose the right fertilizer with weed control?

Accepted Answer

Consider the type of weeds you're dealing with and the type of grass you have. We offer fertilizer that controls crabgrass, kills dandelion, and more.

Question 4

How do I know if I need a pre-emergent or post-emergent fertilizer?

Accepted Answer

Pre-emergent fertilizer is applied before weeds sprout, preventing them from growing. Post-emergent fertilizer is applied after weeds have emerged, to kill them.

Question 5

Is this fertilizer safe for my pets?

Accepted Answer

When used as directed, many fertilizers are safe for pets, but it is always best to read the label carefully. Look for fertilizers labeled "safe for pets" to be extra cautious.
