The appropriate lawn fertilization schedule depends on grass type, soil nutrient levels, growing conditions, and maintenance objectives. Many New Jersey lawns consist of cool-season grasses that grow most actively during spring and fall.
Fertilizer applications should be based on actual nutrient needs rather than an automatic monthly schedule. Soil testing can help determine whether nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, or other nutrients are required.
Excessive fertilization may contribute to weak growth, increased disease susceptibility, and nutrient runoff. New Jersey also regulates fertilizer applications, including restrictions involving timing, nitrogen, and phosphorus, so treatments must comply with applicable state requirements.
