Lawns

Written by: Paul Knight
Lawn Restoration

Repair bare patches and overseed your existing lawn with one of Merrifield’s custom grass seed mixtures and fertilize with Merrifield Select Lawn Food.  If you are not seeding, fertilize with Merrifield Premium Lawn Food.

For more tips on restoring your lawn for the fall season, view our fall guide to lawn restoration and weed prevention.

Use sod to repair bare patches and worn areas, if you do not want to wait for seed to grow. Sod can be planted at any time of the year.

If your lawn is suffering because of dense, heavy clay, this is a good time to aerate the ground and topdress with compost. This can be done at the same time as seeding and fertilizing.

Fertilization

Lawns should be fertilized 2-3 times each fall, beginning in September. Roots are growing and storing food for the coming year. Fertilize with Merrifield Premium Lawn Food to build those roots!
