Late Season Fertilization-
The most important Fertilization of the Year!

The single most important fertilizer application you can make to your lawn is here! 'Late Season" fertilization, applied at the right time (usually mid-November) will provide your turf with the food it needs to grow a fantastic root system all Winter long! Timing is the key - apply too soon and all you get is shoot growth and more grass to mow, apply too late and the plant is too dormant to take advantage of the fertilizer. For best results, apply our Green Velvet Late Season 33-0-3 or 46-0-0 fertilizer when the grass is still green and you have mowed it for the last time of the season."

Too Late to Seed???? Just Sod It!

It is definitely too late to get grass seed started this year, but it's never too late to Sod It! The only way to get out of the Mud and enjoy a beautiful Green Velvet Kentucky Bluegrass or Turf Type Tall Fescue Lawn is with Green Velvet's "Instant Lawn Sod"! Sod is not affected by cold temperatures, and can be installed all Winter long! Weather permitting, we harvest our sod all Winter long. If you want grass, Green Velvet sod is the only way to go!
