Step 1: Early Spring
Crabgrass Preventer plus Lawn Food
Apply in the very early spring before the weeds germinate and the grass begins greening up. Apply and water in. This is a slow release 20-0-3 fertilizer with micro-nutrients and a weed and grass preventer. This unique product will also kill, small weeds that have just emerged. In areas where weeds are a problem, follow up with an application of FL Weed Free Zone10 to 14 days later. (see below)
Step 2: Late Spring
Weed Free Zone plus Lawn Fertilizer
Apply in March through May. Apply when the lawn is wet, water in after 24 hours.This has slow release 18-0-6 fertilizer with 5% Iron and 10% Sulfur for extra green. It also has a fully systemic broadleaf weed control, killing over 200 types of weeds. In areas where weeds are a problem, follow up with an application of FL Weed Free Zone10 to 14 days later. (see below)
Step 3: Early Summer
Lawn Food plus Iron
Apply in May or June. Apply and water in. Before watering remove from concrete. This has a little quick release fertilizer for a fast green-up, but mostly slow release 24-0-4 fertilizer that will feed over 2 months. This also has 3% added Iron for a very deep, dark green that is long lasting.
Step 4: Fall
Winterizer
Apply in the Fall. Apply and water in. Also apply to adjoining trees and shrubs. This has a 10-0-14 fertilizer. Nitrogen is used as stored food for the winter, Potassium is used to increase cold hardiness and recover from summer stress. For additional weed control, apply FL Winterizer & Weed Preventer II. This has the same great fertilizer plus a weed and grass preventer. Water in.
Step 5: Early Winter
Hi-Yield Turf & Ornamental Weed & Grass Stopper
Apply in early winter and again in late winter/early spring in areas where weeds are a problem. Apply and water in, if you can't water in, do so within 3 to 4 weeks.This has no fertilizer, because you don't want to stimulate weed growth through the winter months when the St. Augustine is dormant, But it does have a weed and grass preventer that prevent crabgrass and other weeds from germinating.
Optional: Spring and/or Fall
Weed Free Zone
Apply in the spring or fall to kill established, actively growing, broadleaf weeds. This is a cool or cold weather weed killer, it works when others won't, down to 40°.
