What Makes It Pro Grade?

PGF Complete lawn fertilizer comparison image

Small Particle Size

Standard consumer fertilizer granules are 60% bigger than the size of PGF Complete 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 Complete

PGF Complete can be applied to all turf types any time it is actively growing. It contains quick-release nitrogen so it is especially beneficial to apply it in the spring and fall or before an event when you want a quick green-up. PGF Complete feeds for up to 8 weeks and can be reapplied at 6-8 week intervals.

PRO TIPS

For summer applications on cool-season grasses, apply at the low rate
When applying on centipede lawns, apply at the low rate
Apply to dry foliage

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.

Don't Bag It

Leave lawn clippings for at least one mowing to avoid particle pick-up.

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.

Q&A

Does this product help with any control such as crabgrass, clover, and other typical weeds of the north east: PGF Complete is a fertilizer product that will provide nutrition to your turf grass. It does not contain any herbicide that will help control existing weeds in your lawn.
I put down the PFG Complete 2 weeks ago on my St Augustine grass in South Florida at a low rate. We have had daily heavy rain since I put it down. The grass has not shown any new growth or color change. How do I know that the product is working on the grass? When should I put down an additional fall fertilizer if this one was washed out of the soil by all the rains? Thank you.: Thanks for reaching out! Typically, you should wait 6-8 weeks to apply another fertilizer after applying PGF Complete. But, since you have had a substantial amount of rain and temperatures are starting to cool, you may apply a fall fertilizer 3-4 weeks from when you applied the PGF Complete.
Is it advisable to apply this fertilizer in August?. I live in GA and it can get hot and humid in summer.: Yes, however, we do not recommend applying fertilizer in temperatures above 85 degrees.
I'm considering your subscription option of receiving a product every 12 months and if I place the order now would the first shipment be sent immediately?: Yes, it will be shipped within 1-2 business days.
How do I know when I have watered in .2 inches?: A good way of testing how much water you used with your irrigation system/sprinkler is by setting a tuna can in the lawn while you are watering. The tuna can easily allows you to see how much water the lawn is getting.
