Product Description

Growing a new lawn takes more than getting the seed to germinate. Young grass also needs the right nutrients to develop strong roots, establish evenly, and withstand stress.

Lawn Synergy 15-20-10 Starter Fertilizer is specially formulated for new seed, overseeding, and sod. Its high-phosphorus formula supports early root development while providing balanced nutrition during the critical first weeks of growth.

Why Choose Lawn Synergy Starter Fertilizer?

  • 15-20-10 formula: High phosphorus supports strong root development and early establishment.
  • Slow-release nitrogen: Provides steady feeding for healthy, controlled growth.
  • Iron and micronutrients: Support healthy color and overall turf development.

The result is stronger, more uniform young grass that is better prepared to grow into a thick, healthy lawn.

When to Apply

Apply at the time of planting for:

  • New lawn installations
  • Overseeding thin or patchy areas
  • New sod installations
  • Repairing bare areas

Starter fertilizer is most effective when applied at the time of seeding, overseeding, or sod installation, so nutrients are available as the new grass begins developing roots.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Starter fertilizer is a higher dose of essential nutrients needed when trying to establish new grass seed or when installing sod. It contains Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium which all three macronutrients are needed for best results.

Starter Fertilizer should be applied at time of installing new sod or grass seed. As the fertilizer breaks down and begins to work, it is perfect timing for the new grass to begin taking in essential nutrients.

We highly recommend applying starter fertilizer at the time of seeding.

Absolutely. Starter fertilizer contains both a healthy dose of both potassium and phosphorus which will aid in correcting deficiencies.

We recommend applying starter fertilizer at the same time of aeration and overseeing. Core aeration is always best and it will also help move phosphorus down into the soil layer.

Q&A

When do I reapply? I love the results already. I have St Augustine grass in east Texas
You can reapply in 5-6 weeks. If your area, you can apply emerald 10-0-20 next.
When do I reapply? I love the results already. I have St Augustine grass in east Texas
Suggest applying fertilizer again in 6 weeks.
I have a new sod lawn in North TX. I was going to apply this. Is now a good time? The law is established now and about two months old most areas and over a month old in others. I wanted to fertilize to help it grow its roots.
Yes, this would be a great choice for new sod or new seed.
