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.

Reviews

I've been a loyal Lawn

"I've been a loyal Lawn Synergy fan for a few years, and will continue to be one. Emerald and Almighty fertilizers are exclusively applied to my TTTF lawn as well as two neighbors lawns I treat here in Delaware. Results are A+, deep dark green color makes our other neighbors envious. Next year I will try NutriGreen between fertilizer applications."

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.
