Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best time of year to seed grass?
Early autumn (late summer to early fall) is ideal for cool-season grasses because soil is warm and weed competition is lower. Spring is best for warm-season grasses.
What does N-P-K stand for on fertilizer bags?
Nitrogen (N) promotes leafy green growth, Phosphorus (P) stimulates strong root development, and Potassium (K) strengthens disease and drought tolerance.
