Our approach
Fertilization for Bermuda Grass in Georgia
We match fertilizer blends and application rates to your specific grass type and soil conditions. Bermuda, zoysia, centipede, and St. Augustine each need different nutrients at different times. We track seasonal growth cycles so your lawn gets fed when it can actually use the nutrients.
For bermuda grass specifically, we adjust product selection and application rates to match its aggressive growth rate and high nitrogen needs. Safe for kids and pets once dry, usually about 30 minutes after application.
