This picture shows a section of lawn with and without fertilizer. Our lawns are typically cool season grasses, (Fescue, ryegrass or bluegrass) and, therefore, respond well to fertilizer in the winter months. If you kept your lawn up through the drought, (most survived with 2x a week summer watering), now is an excellent time to fertilize with Master’s Fall and Winter Feed.

California’s new normal includes smaller lawns or no lawns. We would love to help! We can help you select attractive alternatives. Many gardeners have removed their lawns and replaced them with shrubs groupings, pathways, and ornamental garden elements.
