Emerald Lawn Fertilizer

HIGH-POTASSIUM LAWN FERTILIZER

Keep Your Lawn Greener, Stronger & Ready for Tough Conditions

Keep Your Lawn Greener, Stronger & Ready for Tough Conditions
BUILT TO HANDLE TOUGH CONDITIONSHelp your lawn stay greener and stronger through heat, drought, and everyday wear.

A Richer, Deeper Green

Added iron and micronutrients help bring out a deeper green color, keeping your lawn looking healthy and vibrant.

Long-Lasting Feeding

With 45% controlled-release nitrogen, your lawn gets a steady supply of nutrients for weeks instead of one quick burst of growth.

Healthy Growth Without Excessive Mowing

The lower-nitrogen, high-potassium formula helps maintain healthy turf without pushing excessive top growth and constant mowing.

Keep Your Lawn Greener and Stronger Through Tough Weather

Hot summer days, dry weather, and everyday wear can be hard on your lawn. Emerald 10-0-20 Lawn Fertilizer helps your grass stay healthy, green, and strong when conditions get tough.

Emerald contains extra potassium to help your lawn handle heat and drought. It also includes iron for a richer green color and slow-release nitrogen that feeds your grass gradually without causing excessive growth.

A Greener Lawn Without All the Extra Mowing

Not every lawn needs a big boost of nitrogen. Sometimes it just needs the right nutrients to stay healthy.

Emerald provides steady feeding while helping your lawn stay strong through stressful growing conditions. It's a great choice for established lawns that need more strength and color without a big growth spurt.

Emerald or Almighty: Which Should You Choose?

Choose Emerald 10-0-20 when you want to help your lawn handle heat, dry weather, and other stressful conditions.

Choose Almighty 20-0-10 when your lawn needs more nitrogen to encourage greener, more vigorous growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this lawn fertilizer safe for my lawn?

Emerald’s slow-release nitrogen reduces the risk of fertilizer burn when applied at the recommended rate. Overapplication can still damage the lawn.

How long will it take for the fertilizer to work?

Once your application is applied and watered in, expect 7-14 days to notice a difference. As the nutrients begin to work, you will notice the lawn growing and darkening up in color.

Can I use this on St. Augustine or Centipede lawns?

Yes. Emerald is phosphorus-free and safe for both. For Centipede lawns, alternate with a lower-nitrogen product like NutriGreen 0‑0‑4 to avoid over-fertilization.

Will it stain my concrete or patio?

Fertilizer with iron can stain hard surfaces, so always sweep/blow stray granules off immediately. Do not wash it off with water.

How long does it feed the lawn?

Emerald feeds slowly and steadily for up to 8 weeks thanks to the 45% slow-release nitrogen. We recommend re-applying fertilizer at 6 weeks to allow some overlap.

I used this on my

"I used this on my centipede lawn in south Mississippi several weeks ago. All I can say is it works. If you are reading this review and have never used lawn Synergy before, I can tell you it is truly a professional fertilizer. Has been extremely Hot 99+ for the last two weeks and extremely dry. I have the greenest lawn in the neighborhood. It’s amazing. Yes I have sprinklers and yes I been using them but I feel like the reason my lawn looks so amass because of Lawn Synergy. I’ve used other fertilizer and in the past and clearly see da difference. It is a professional product that works great. Thanks Lawn Synergy!"

Q&A

My lawn is summer stressed and starting to go dormant. It’s also consistently 85 degrees. Can this be applied ?
Fertilizer should not be applied to a stressed lawn. It can still be applied when hot, but apply early in the AM or late in the afternoon avoiding the heat of the day. Water the product in well after applying.
Does the Emerald contain any weed killer qualities? I have some clover, not much but would like to know if I will have to apply weed killer separately?
The 20-0-10 Almighty Fertilizer does not contain weed control. Post emergent weed control products would need to be used separately.
my lawn in the summer gets sun all day long will this work on my lawn?
This is a great fertilizer choice to use of cool season grass types over the summer season.
Does it work on zenith zoysia grass
10-0-20 is a great product to use on Zoysia sod as a winterizer fertilizer. During the summer growing season, I would recommend using the 20-0-10 Almighty for zoysia grass.
How long before / after mowing should Emerald be applied?
Emerald can be applied right after mowing. If you are planning to apply before mowing, make sure the product is watered in very well first and then mow once the lawn is dry.
