A lush, vibrant lawn is the envy of every neighborhood. Proper fertilization is vital to achieving that picture-perfect yard. Here are answers to some of the most common questions about lawn fertilizer and Revive to help you understand its importance and how to use it effectively.
Why Is Fertilizing My Lawn Important?
Like any living thing, your lawn needs more than just water to thrive. Lawn fertilizer provides essential nutrients that grass needs to grow strong and healthy. With proper nutrition, your lawn may thrive and reach its full potential.
What Are the Benefits of Using Lawn Fertilizer?
Fertilizing your lawn promotes healthy grass growth and enhances its color, giving you that coveted lush, green appearance. It also strengthens grassroots, making your lawn resilient against diseases, extreme temperatures, and heavy foot traffic. A well-fertilized lawn can withstand wear and tear, whether you enjoy backyard sports, playing with pets, or hosting outdoor gatherings.
How Do I Choose the Right Lawn Fertilizer?
Selecting the appropriate lawn fertilizer depends on several factors, including your grass type, specific lawn issues (like weeds or pests), and the time of year. Different grass varieties and seasonal changes require tailored nutrient blends. Navigating these complexities can be challenging, so consider partnering with the experts at Personal Lawn Care for a treatment plan customized to your lawn's unique needs.
When Is the Optimal Time to Apply Lawn Fertilizer?
Avoid fertilizing your lawn under the harsh midday sun. The best time to apply fertilizer is generally in the late afternoon or early evening when the sun is less intense. However, this may vary depending on your lawn's specific conditions, such as shade or tree cover. A lawn care professional can help determine the ideal timing for your yard.
What Should I Do Before Applying Lawn Fertilizer?
Before fertilizing, mowing and raking your lawn to remove excess debris is recommended, allowing the fertilizer to reach the soil more easily. For optimal results, consider aerating your lawn before fertilizing. Aeration creates direct channels to the soil and grass roots, maximizing the fertilizer's effectiveness.
How Often Should I Fertilize My Lawn?
The frequency of fertilization depends on factors such as your grass type, soil conditions, and climate. Generally, most lawns benefit from fertilization every 6 to 8 weeks during the growing season. However, it's essential to follow the specific guidelines for your grass type and avoid over-fertilizing, which can damage your lawn.
When can I start applying Revive?
You can apply Revive anytime the grass is green and growing. First applications can begin when the turf is at least 50% out of winter dormancy.
How long does Revive last?
Revive typically lasts about six weeks under most conditions.
Which is better, liquid or granules?
For most homeowners, it comes down to ease of use. Revive liquid is perfect for spot-treating smaller areas or spots along walks and driveways. Since ACA uses broadcast spreaders, the granular treats more square footage quickly than the liquid. The granular formulation also offers an added benefit called DPW (Dehydrated Poultry Waste), which provides a slow-release, non-burning organic fertilizer not found in the liquid Revive.
What are the spreader and hose end sprayer settings for the Revive granules?
Hose End Sprayers: Fill the sprayer with undiluted Revive concentrate. Turn the dial to 8 oz. setting.
Spreader Settings: Revive Granules can be applied with any broadcast or drop spreader. Settings are approximate due to walking speed and overlap. Set the dial to 1/3 open and adjust up or down for adequate coverage (i.e., A spreader with a 15 as the highest setting should be set to a 5).
Is Revive safe for children and pets?
Yes, Revive is organic-based and safe for use around people and pets.
How does Revive break up compacted soils?
The wetting agents in Revive allow water to penetrate hard, compacted soils. Once the soil is wet, it will loosen, allowing for better water and air movement. Roots don't grow in dry soil, so as the soil becomes moist deeper down, roots will follow that moisture, helping to break up the soil as they grow. The organic matter in Revive also helps feed the microbial activity in the soil, further breaking up compaction.
Does Revive work on sandy soils?
Yes, even sandy soils can produce isolated compacted areas, causing drought stress conditions. Revive's wetting agents allow water to penetrate these areas, restoring your turf to the desired green color. The organic matter in Revive also aids in the water-holding capacity of your soil. We recommend Revive Granules on sandy sites as the extra organic matter in our bags is precisely what your turf needs.
Does Revive work on all grass types?
Yes, Revive has been tested on every grass type, both cool and warm seasons, and has shown positive effects in color, thickness, and drought hardiness.
Can Revive burn the lawn if I over-apply?
No, you can safely apply extra Revive to trouble areas without worrying about burning. Just make sure you water after application to get results starting quicker.
Do I apply Revive before or after mowing? What time of day? Is there any ideal temperature for application?
We recommend applying Revive after mowing. Time of day or temperature will not affect the results. Water for about 10-15 minutes after the application.
Is Revive safe to use after new seed or sod?
Yes, Revive is ideal for any new seeding or sodding projects. Revive was tested, and the results were fantastic.
How often should I use Revive?
A best practice is to use Revive every time you fertilize, but that can vary from homeowner to homeowner. Because the wetting agents lose effectiveness after about six weeks, we suggest a treatment once every six weeks. If you have severe drought conditions, severe slopes, or persistent dry, compacted spots, you can spot treat every 3-4 weeks.
What time of day should I apply Revive?
You can apply Revive at any time of day. While a Revive treatment doesn't require the temperature to be in a specific range, it does need to be watered in after application. If you live in an area with water restrictions, time your application when the sprinklers can be set to water it in.
