What Makes It Pro Grade?

Small Particle Size

Standard consumer fertilizer granules are 60% bigger than the size of PGF Balanced granules. The pros prefer formulas with smaller particles because it provides more complete and uniform coverage, which boosts the product’s effectiveness.

When to Apply PGF Balanced

PGF Balanced works on all turf types and can be applied any time your lawn’s actively growing. Since it’s loaded with quick-release nitrogen, it’s a great pick for spring, fall, or right before a backyard get-together when you want that fast green-up. It feeds for up to 6 weeks and can be reapplied every 4–6 weeks to keep things looking sharp.

Pro Tips for Best Results

Check The Forecast

Avoid applying before heavy rainfall so particles don't get washed away.

Mow First

Clear any lawn debris and make it easier for particles to reach the soil.

Clean Up

Sweep or blow product off the driveways/sidewalks back into the lawn.

Water Deep

Your lawn will need at least 0.2 inches of water.

Spreader Settings

We recommend using a broadcast spreader. These spreader settings are a guide. Many variables such as walking speed, terrain, particle size, density, and spreader condition can affect these settings. Be sure to calibrate your spreader before every application.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick-release nitrogen provides an immediate boost of nutrients to your lawn, resulting in fast green-up and visible results within days of application and watering it in. It’s especially beneficial when your grass needs a color enhancement before an event, an early-spring jumpstart or a final boost of nutrition at the end of the season.

PGF Complete is a combination of quick- and slow-release nitrogen. It feeds for up to 8 weeks and should be re-applied every 6-8 weeks. PGF Balanced is all quick-release nitrogen. It feeds for us to 6 weeks and should be re-applied every 4-6 weeks.

The difference is that PGF Balanced does not contain any humic acid. Humic acid is overall beneficial to all soil types and, when applied alongside fertilizer, helps enhance nutrient uptake.

When applying synthetic fertilizers in high temps, there is always some the risk of burning the lawn. Do not apply to lawns that are already stressed from heat or drought. To reduce your risk of fertilizer burn, keep your lawn on a consistent watering schedule and water fertilizer applications in thoroughly. You can also apply at a lower rate to help reduce the risk of burn.

Once product has been applied, watered-in, and the lawn has then completely dried, pets are safe to enter back out onto the lawn.

Yes, you do! This product needs to be watered in with at least .2 inches of water. Using a rain gauge to measure irrigation can be helpful.

"I purchased this item for my Billings lawn; as you know, I've used your products on my ex-Warrenton lawn. It works."

House Plants

"I got this fertilizer for my house plants and garden. I love the way they brespond to it. Garden grows like crazy and produces very good yields. My house plants are very strong and when I have to repot them they roots are quite healthy and fill the pot. Will continue using this instead of overpriced and overrated house plant fetrilezers. This goes a long way for my purposes."

— Frank C. (5/5)

"Product application went as expected and covered the prescribed area. It is too early to tell overall effectiveness. From the initial application it watered in well and my severely malnourished lawn responded gently (which was what I wanted). As i work to repair and fortify the underlying soil I’ll continue to apply this and follow up with results"

PGF Balanced has earned a

"PGF Balanced has earned a permanent spot in my fertilizer rotation. I use PGF Complete as my main feed, but there are times during the season when I want to give my Bermuda a solid meal without hammering it with high nitrogen — that's where Balanced shines. The 10-10-10 ratio with micros and humic acid is ideal for early season apps or when you just want to maintain without pushing excessive top growth. What I appreciate most is that it still has the same quality you expect from The Andersons. The granules are uniform, spread cleanly through a rotary spreader, and break down evenly with watering. No hot spots, no streaking, no complaints. It's also great for areas you're establishing or renovating where you want to support root development without overdriving the blade growth. A lot of people overlook balanced fertilizers because they want the quick green-up from high nitrogen products. But if you understand that a healthy lawn is built below the surface, a well-timed app of PGF Balanced makes a real difference. Pair it with something like Dirt Boost Plus and your soil will thank you. Excellent product. The Andersons doesn't miss."

Q&A

Hello, Can I use the as a spring wake up on a Tall Fescue lawn in Philadelphia, PA: Yes! PGF Balanced is a great option for a spring fertilizer.
Is this good for Holly Trees? My 74 trees are 20 ft high. How much ferterilizer is needed per tree? Thanks@: Most 20-ft hollies have trunks around 4вЂ“6 inches in diameter: 4-inch trunk: ~4 lbs. fertilizer per tree 5-inch trunk: ~5 lbs. fertilizer per tree 6-inch trunk: ~6 lbs. fertilizer per tree Spread fertilizer evenly under the canopy (drip line), not against the trunk. Keep product 6вЂ“12 inches away from the base. Water thoroughly after application to move nutrients into the root zone.

I have a 150' row of arbs and I would like to use this product. Can it be spread around the base of the plants? If so about how much per plant. I can't do the math around 3.8 lbs per 1000 sq.ft. Actually would I measure the depth of the row and then how long it is and figure out the sq ft from there?: Yes, this product can be applied around the bases of the trees. You should measure your square footage and then apply 3.6 lbs./1,000 sq. ft..
How much time does PGF balance need to set in before heavy rainfall returns?: PGF Balanced should receive at least 0.2 inches of water after application. Avoid applying directly before heavy rainfall. If you have heavy rainfall coming in the next few days, you may apply PGF Balanced, water it in and then let it dry ahead of time. It will be set in the lawn before the heavy rainfall.
