Choosing a Grass Fertilizer
As the saying goes, you get what you pay for. That same axiom applies when you buy lawn fertilizers. You can go cheap and regret it, or pretend your lawn is the Yankee Stadium outfield and throw fiscal responsibility to the wind. I’d like to think there’s a middle ground. Let’s focus on value rather than price.
Let’s find a handful of lawn food gems that give your lawn an edge over your neighbor’s. But before heading to your favorite home retailer or buying online, have a clear understanding about what you’re trying to accomplish.
Are you simply trying to green up your lawn? Is your goal to feed your lawn and control weeds or insects? Maybe you’re starting a new lawn and want the best for those delicate little seedlings as they break ground? Are you considering a naturally organic approach to feeding your lawn?
Let’s take a closer look at six top-choice options that will leave you feeling good about what fertilizer you pour into your spreader.

Best Fertilizer for Crabgrass Prevention
What I like about Greenview Fairway Formula Spring Fertilizer + Crabgrass Preventer is the quality of the fertilizer in the bag and the active ingredient of the crabgrass herbicide. It boasts a high-quality, professional grade slow-release nitrogen source called methylene-urea. This is a popular choice among professionals.
The fertilizer releases evenly over an eight- to 10-week period without that flush of growth that can have you mowing more than you want. The crabgrass killer is Dimension. And its “extra strength” dose means it will keep your lawn crabgrass-free longer than other pre-emergents. Dimension kills crabgrass for a short period of time even after it sprouts. Other pre-emergent herbicides won’t do that.
