Frequently Asked Questions:

  1. What fertilizer should I use when seeding my lawn?
    If you are not concerned about preventing crabgrass, we suggest using Greenview's Winter Green.  Winter Green will promote root growth of the new grass seedlings.  If you are concerned about preventing crabgrass, apply Greenview's Seed Starter plus Crabgrass Preventer.  This product "knows" the difference between grass seed and other germinating weed seeds.

  2. Do I have to apply all 4-steps of a 4-step lawn care program?
    No, in fact, we now carry a professional-formula 2-step lawn care program with crabgrass prevention, weed killers and slow-release fertilizers for season-long feeding.

  3. What is the difference between Scott's and Greenview fertilizers?
    Greenview fertilizers are far superior to the Scott's fertilizers you find at big box stores.  However, we carry Scott's Super Turf Builder series that is the best quality fertilizer that Scott's produces.   Greenview and Scott's Super Turf Builder fertilizers are almost equal but Greenview Crabicide Green has been shown to be better than Scott's Super Turf Builder Plus Halts Crabicide.

  4. Do I have to use a spreader to apply lawn fertilizer?
    We recommend using a spreader to apply lawn fertilizer as this will equally distribute the fertilizer over the lawn.
