Lawn Fertilizers

Its that time of year again when we need to start thinking about our lawns. At Rylee's Ace Hardware, we carry several fertilizer choices to help get your green grass growing this year.

Here is a good guide to get you started on the process of having a terrific lawn:

1. Early Spring - Crab Grass Preventer

   Now is the time to put down your first treatment of fertilizer for the year, crab grass preventer. This treatment gives your lawn a good jump-start of fertilizer, and it acts as a pre-emergent that keeps the crab grass from coming. It is good to put this down before the ground temperature reaches above 55 degrees.

2. Late Spring - Weed Control

   In the late spring, we suggest spreading a Weed Control plus fertilizer. This will kill all of those pesky dandelions that you have in your yard.

3. Summer - 4th of July - Insect Control

   Just before the heat of the summer, it is a good idea to use a summer fertilizer that will prepare your lawn from drought periods. Scotts has some new moisture control products that will help your grass do more with less water. This fertilizer also typically has insect control that will battle the bugs that often want to destroy your lawn in the heat.

4. Later Summer to Early Fall - Later Summer Fertilizer

   After the summer heat, it is time to get growing again. A late summer fertilizer can give your lawn a huge boost, and turn it a deep green.

5. Later Fall - Winterizer

   The most important step of the year is winterizer. This product will make your roots strong for a long winter. Often, these products also contain weed control because fall is another time that weeds take over.

It is easy to get your yard started right this year by purchasing a 4 step program from Rylee's Ace Hardware. We carry Scott's and Ace brand. We also offer phosphorous free plans for those in restricted areas.
