We had a National Lawn Care Co. do our fertilization requirements after we established our lawn at a municipal site. Lawns were suffering the effects of crabgrass which seemed to run rampant during Aug. We had applied when we seeded a combo starter fertilizer with Tupersan on all lawn areas All the rain in June and July seemed to lessen the effects of Tupersan. A liquid fertilizer was performed on the front of the property for immediate effect while a granulated fertilizer was applied to other areas. The fertilization never greened up lawn areas. The liquid fertilizer seemed to have a negative effect with a reddish brown color. We watered all areas the day after fertilizer was applied. The fertilization was done on Labor day weekend on Sept. 5, 2009 We watered on Sept. 6. The company came back and refertilized with a granulated 25-0-8 Lesco product on Oct. 9,2009. The areas have started to green up but not to our expectation They are spotty green. A small area that we had fertilized with Lesco Starter Fertilizer this past August is a brilliant dark green. It was probably the worst area with large areas of crabgrass.It is short of a miracle that grass could turn such a brilliant color

My main question is can we put more fertilizer on front of project when an application was done 2 weeks ago this Friday. Vigoro is advertising a Fertilizer that will green up the lawn in 72 hours.

It seems that even a National Company has its pitfalls.
